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.
