Are you planning a trip to Delhi? If you are, do pay a visit to the historical monuments, forts and mosques. For all the shopaholics out there, you have to visit its several markets to enjoy shopping in Delhi at its best.
Delhi is the hub of places to shop. From the lavish buildings of shopping malls to the wide spread street shopping sites, the city of Delhi has it all. Here’s a list of markets where you can buy fashionable, stylish and trendy clothes without making a hole in your pocket. Also, learn the skills of bargaining from Delhiites while you’re shopping.
•Sarojini Nagar- It is named after Sarojini Naidu. This place is one of the popular shopping areas in Delhi to buy clothes. Sarojini Nagar is slightly different than others as if you are looking for branded clothes at a cheap price, then this is place you should be. If you are in hurry, I would suggest not going there as there are lots of options to confuse you. You better avoid Sunday afternoons as it is the rush hour, with the locals coming out to shop.
•Lajpat Nagar- It is famously known for hand-made embroidery of Lucknow chickan. This place demands to be visited once when you are in Delhi. You can get various kinds of accessories, clothes, footwear and saris here. If you have already got some bargaining skills, you might even save a few bucks while shopping from Lajpat. You will also discover some mehendiwalas around the market. They apply mehendi at a very nominal price. One important thing to keep in mind is that the shopping area is closed on Mondays, so plan accordingly.
•Chandni Chowk- This place is one of the oldest and most popular markets in Delhi. It holds an astonishing amount of history. The place is very crowded and encompasses every colour of Delhi. Katra Neel Market is one of its famous markets here, which offers various kind of fabrics like silks, satin, cotton, muslin and crepe. Khari Baoli is a must visit for spice lovers. One can buy electrical goods from Bhagirath market which is Asia’s largest market for electrical goods and this also offers medical equipment and allopathic medicines. If you are fanatical with pearl jewellery, you must visit Moti Bazar; which offers exquisite collection of pearl jewellery.
•Janpath Market- The shops are starting from outer circle of Connaught place to Windsor Place. It’s attracting tourists with its colourful shawls, attractive t-shirts, dazzling earrings and a lot of junk jewellery. If you are an ethnic lover, this place will surely satiate your desire for junk jewellery. In winter, you can get some really good woolen clothes within your budget. Janpath market is closed on Sundays.
If you want to visit a mall in Delhi, you can go to Select Citywalk, one of biggest malls in Delhi and if you are with your family, this mall has a huge kids’ play zone. It is known to have quite an well- liked kids play zone in New Delhi.
