Delhi is a marvellous
place for shoppers. The Connaught Place, the colonnaded shopping
area in the centre of town, offers good shopping. An entire range of
Indian handicrafts and handlooms from all over the country can be
found at the State Emporia on Baba Kharak Singh Marg and at the
Central Cottage Industries Emporium on Janpath. Shops along the
Janpath offer garments, leather work, curios, fabric and fine
jewellery.
The Crafts Museum
Complex and the Dilli Haat have an array of bargains ranging from
pottery and paintings to shawls, saris and charming rural ambience.
The Hauz Khas Village provides an interesting excursion to a village
– turned – boutique complex. At Santhusti near Ashok Hotel,
interesting boutiques are set in a landscaped garden.
Chandni Chowk the once
elegant ‘shopping mall’ of the Mughals is now a frantically busy
area, but its little lanes often selling just silks, jewellery, semi
precious stones or brassware are fascinating to explore and
marvellous for picking up bargains
