Let's take a look at the top seven markets in Delhi.
1.Chandni Chowk
Unbelievably busy and comically chaotic, Chandni Chowk may not be an easy place to navigate but is easily one of the most fascinating corners of the capital. A giant of Delhi’s retail scene, this huge, historic area in Old Delhi is home to a number of bazaars and retail precincts, each with a unique identity and history. Dariba Kalan is a hotspot for silver jewellery vendors while Nai Sarak is where bookworms will find books and stationery. Flatbread fans won’t want to miss Gali Paranthe Wali, a small lane filled with stores selling different types of paratha.
2.Janpath Market
Put your bargaining boots on and head to this market where retail prices are for amateurs. Filled with small shops selling everything from Tibetan handicrafts to handmade handbags and street fashion knockoffs, this market is filled with budget buys so don’t be afraid to haggle for a good price.
3.Chor Bazaar
One of India’s largest flea markets, Chor Bazaar is the perfect place to fossick for vintage wares and second-hand finds. Open from Saturday to Thursday, you’ll find everything but the kitchen sink here. Antique clocks, analogue cameras, old books, wristwatches, leather shoes, woven rugs, garden tools – you name it, this market will have it.
4.Khari Baoli
Spice up your life with a visit to Asia’s largest wholesale spice market. This area can be a bit of an assault on the senses so pack a few tissues if you’re sensitive to strong smells (walking past the chilli vendors brings tears to the eyes of even the most hardened chilli eater). Keen photographers will love the huge and colourful bags of chilli, cinnamon, cardamom, clove and nuts that are found in this ancient part of the city.
5.Shankar Market
A hub for fabric and textile vendors, Shankar Market is the place to stock up on locally made fabric. You can also get a special suit tailor-made, find a statement sari to call your own or acquire a fancy new coat for your pooch. Located in the Connaught Place area, there are plenty of street food vendors at the market so you can grab some sweet jalebi treats to keep your blood sugar levels high while shopping.
6.Khan Market
One of the more upscale markets in New Delhi, the Khan Market is the type of place local a-listers tend to frequent. Possessing a distinctly cosmopolitan feel, Khan Market features modern high street stores stocking international brands as well as quaint, family-owned book stores filled with character. Hip bars, cool cafés and high-end restaurants are scattered throughout this area.
7.Dilli haat
This large, open-air market established in the 1990s has a few spin-offs, but the original location is still viewed as the best. A space for artisans to showcase their wares, this is a top place for time-poor travellers to buy quality gifts and souvenirs in one hit. Choose from handmade leather shoes, colourful masks, embroidered shawls, chunky necklaces and silks scarves in this relaxed market run by a government department. Food stalls showcase the regional delicacies of India and its neighbours so you can indulge in a power lunch before round two of your shopping jaunt.

Bamboo facades are designed as ‘non-facades’; they are narratives in themselves for they tell the story of what lies on the other side and much more! Apart from being celebrated in the facade, bamboo is used in structures for shading, screens for baskets and food courts and as sculptures or used for street furniture. Saluting the natural beauty of its forests, bamboo has been planted as a soft-scape plantation along the boundary and to accentuate other trees.Breaking free from the conventional look and feel of its other two DilliHaat counterparts with their vocabulary of exposed brick and stone, DilliHaat-Janakpuri takes a fresh look at the material palette that paints the multi-faceted programme it houses. Along with a material spectrum which is an eclectic mix of modern and traditional, are interspersed four eight-metre high towers along the site. Designed to resemble huge bamboo baskets, the two-storied buildings with roof top canopies are planned for outdoor activities. Closer to the entry, one basket houses the information centre, while another forms into a café. Wander more into the interiors of the site and the baskets hold a music centre and a museum.

A DAY WITH MY GIRLS, A NIGHT WITH HIM: 25th October, 2021
On 25th, Himani, Ruby and I decided to meet at Hauz Khas. When Ruby told us that she lost her job because of taking excessive leaves, I felt guilty for it. But when we met her, she was happy about her new job as an actress. We went to Hauz Khas to buy shoes from SSS but, find none. Then we travelled to Dilli Haat via metro for lunch, and later to Janpath for a milkshake, momos and coffee. Ruby and I went to her house, and seeing her mother worried about her falling marriage made me sad. I later met Ojas after around two long years. He hugged me tight that felt marvelous. We decided to go for dinner that turned out to be heavy for me. Then we drove to Ronak’s flat where we are going to stay for the next coming days.
