Choices and Places

Delhi is the perfect place for a shopper who is interested in buying traditional and antique items. Delhi has some wonderful options of shops that sell high quality items in which intricate carvings of rosewood and sandalwood are there, pottery, artefacts, items made of brass, classic paintings, stones that are costly and precious and many other antique items. Chandni Chowk and Connaught Place have many shops inside them that sell these goods. For shoppers who are interested in the current show-stealers whether in terms of fashion, accessories, jewellery, artefacts etc. should visit the fashion zones of Sarojini Nagar, Karol Bagh and Lajpat Nagar. These markets are always brimming with youngsters.

Chandni Chowk is the oldest market in Delhi where tourists can find small shops that contain just one room and big luxury retail outlets co-existing in perfect harmony with one another in the same place. High quality items at whole sale or affordable rates can be purchased from Sadar Bazaar and Khari Baoli markets.

Connaught Place is brimming with shops that sell electronics, household goods, grocery, textiles, traditional handicraft items and many more. Delhi’s first and only underground market, Palika Bazaar is visited by shoppers who want to buy leather goods, perfumes, clothes and electronic goods. Just opposite to this is the Janpath market, which is overcrowded during summers, because of the huge collection of cotton clothing that it sells. It also sells furniture.

Tolstoy Road and Baba Karak Singh Marg are the places to visit if the shopper is interested in buying handicraft and antique items at prices regulated by the Government. The latter houses many emporiums all through the entire stretch of the road. These display handicraft, handloom and antique items from all the states in the country.

These ancient markets are now giving way to supermarkets and shopping malls that are springing up like mushrooms in the city. Nevertheless, even with these urban malls, tourists are still fascinated by the feel and flavour that these ancient markets exude.
