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
