Dilli Haat is a congregation of stalls which sell specialities from all the corners of the country from food to handicrafts to clothes. It is situated opposite to INA market at Sri Aurobindo Marg. The word ‘Haat’ is used for a weekly market in rural and semi-urban India but this unique market of Delhi has been set up to display the richness of Indian culture on a permanent basis. Dilli Haat has been developed with a different and appealing concept of creating the ambience of a traditional village market but catering to contemporary needs of the city. Spread across 6 acres, the market has been especially designed in the traditional north Indian style. It has small thatched roof cottages and kiosks which create a village atmosphere. The market was established with the aim to encourage traditional arts and crafts of India. It provides the craftsmen an avenue to exhibit their skills and get profit and appreciation so that the rich cultural heritage of India can be preserved. Dilli Haat is not just a market but it showcases traditional Indian culture. Here not only artisans get to exhibit their skills to thousands of visitors every day but It is a place where urbanites also come closer to folk life and art. Dilli haat was inaugurated in 1994 and since then it has served the needs of thousands of handicraft and handloom artisans. This place is an amalgamation of crafts, food and cultural activity, a single stop destination for offbeat shopping and ethnic cuisine. This food and craft market is a treasure house of handicraft products. Rosewood and sandalwood carvings, footwear, sophisticated fabric and drapery, tribal and folk jewellery, gems, beads, brassware, metal crafts, and silk and wool fabrics are some of the attractions of this market.Cheap fares Offer Cheap flights to Delhi from Boston and Boston to Delhi Flights in Unbeatable price. One can also take pleasure in delightful local dishes from various regions of India. There is Bamboos hot chicken from Nagaland, Pooranpoli from Maharastra, Kahwa & Kebabs from Jammu, Momos from Sikkim and Dhokla from Gujarat.The best time to visit the place is in the evening when the haat is illuminated with the lights, which increases the attraction of the place. Even if one does not want to buy anything, it is a good place for recreation with the family. Whereas the old Dilli Haat is located in an important commercial centre of South Delhi, there have been started two new dilli haats at the Netaji Subash Place and Pitampura.
