An Evening in Dilli Haat

Friday, June 17, 2011
It is a bit difficult these days to tempt yourselves away from the air-conditioned malls in this hot and humid weather. But a trip to Dilli haat was the best thing about this weekend. The place has always been one of my favorite evening destinations. Having spent some great dates here, I have fond memories associated with this place.


About Dilli Haat
For those not from Delhi, Dilli Haat is an upscale flea market with ethnic handicrafts and jewellery from all around the country. It is also a hub of culinary delicacies from all around the country. You have state-wise food stalls. The stalls are spread in an open area just like you would find in a traditional haat.

What you get at Dilli Haat
Everything! I even saw a stall selling litchi! You can flatter your taste buds with items ranging from Kashmir ki Biriyani, Arunachal ke Momos, Gujarat ki Jalebi, Bengal ka Cutlet and so on. You can also find a wide range of interior decoration items, clothes, jewellery etc.

You can also find a wide range of interior decoration items, clothes and jewlery. I can think of

  • Home decoration items: handicrafts, metal-work, wood-work, bamboo-work
  • Pottery, Ceramic and Clay-work
  • Clothes: Mainly Traditional Kurtis, Shawls etc. But you get short skirts too!
  • Ethnic Jewelry
  • Bed-sheets etc
  • Wide variety of sandals
Here are the pictures!
