Delhi Haat is one of greatest tourist attractions in Delhi. It is a platform where artisans and craftsmen come together to showcase their wares. Situated in the heart of Delhi, the Dilli Haat offers a delightful amalgam of craft, food and cultural activities. It is the craftsmen who are mobile and ever-changing thereby offering a kaleidoscope of the richness and diversity of Indian handicrafts and artifacts.
Spread over a spacious six acre area, imaginative landscaping, creative planning, and the traditional village architectural style have combined to produce the perfect ambience for a haat or market place. A plaza paved with stone and brickwork skillfully interspersed with grass, flowering shrubs and towering eucalyptus tress, plus a play corner for children, have conjured up an oasis in which visitors can browse at their leisure.
The food plaza enables visitors to savor the inimitable flavors of gastronomic delights from the various regions of India. The different stalls offer a wide choice of ethnic food which is clean, hygienically prepared and reasonably priced, often a venue for regional food festivals.
A wide variety of skillfully crafted handicrafts, intrinsic to each part of the country are available in this exotic bazaar. These range from intricate rosewood and sandalwood carvings, embellished camel hide footwear, to sophisticated fabric and drapery. Gems, beads, brassware, metal crafts, silk and woolens and the range is limitless.
The handicraft stalls are allotted on a rotational basis to craftsmen from all corners of the vast and varied land of India, usually for fifteen days. Thus ensuring that different handicrafts are available to visitors at each visit, and also enabling them to buy authentic wares at prices that have not been inflated by high maintenance costs. Shows promoting handicrafts and handlooms are held at the exhibition hall in the complex. The Dilli Haat offers you the Indian experience in a microcosm. A destination in itself. And your window to a land filled with myriad colors and vibrant contrasts.
