Dilli Haat is such a lovely place, full of colour and energy, that I make it a point to visit whenever I am in Delhi. I did, this time around as well.
For the uninitiated, Dilli Haat is a permanent open-air arts-and-crafts exhibition and sale, featuring products from most states of India. You can find the specialities of most states here – from the Gujarati embroidered shawls and Orissi sarees to Kashmiri salwar kameezes and Hyderabadi pearls. The same goes for the food – you can find food from different corners of the country here.
I leave you with some images from a happy evening at Dilli Haat.
Hope you enjoyed the virtual tour! 🙂

That display of colourful chappals look like an art installation ! Love that photograph, TGND. I love to visit Dilli Haat whenever I’m in Delhi, but rarely buy anything as I find it so expensive !

I don’t usually buy anything in Dilli Haat; I find it too expensive, too. I love visiting the place, though, for all the colour and cheerfulness. 🙂

I loved my trip to Dillihaat too, so much color and some really good stuff on sale. I wasn’t sure whether or not to bargain but I was pleasantly surprised that when I tried my hand at it, I got some decent deals.
The food though could have been better

Oh, I didn’t know you could bargain at Dilli Haat. I did find the prices marked up quite high, though!
We have had minimal food at Dilli Haat, so can’t really judge, but whatever we have had so far has been good.

I have been there numerous times but it is too expensive. The food is also not that good. They organize cultural programs there at times which are good.

I also find it too expensive, but I have liked whatever little food I have eaten here. Never had the opportunity to watch any cultural programmes, though.
