Celebrating the diversity of India

Amid Delhi’s bustling urban landscape, a cultural oasis beckons, inviting you to embark on a journey through India's rural and folk heritage. It's a place that stirs your soul with the rhythmic beats of folk music, the aroma of regional cuisines, and the intricate craftsmanship passed down through generations – this is Dilli Haat, a veritable melting pot of India's artistic and culinary treasures.

Dilli Haat literally translates to ‘Delhi Market’, and the name couldn't be more fitting. Visiting this unique marketplace is like stepping into a lively traditional market in an urban setting that brings together the best of India's rural and folk traditions from across the country. This cultural hub offers a tantalising glimpse into the diversity and richness of Indian art, cuisine, and culture.

Whether you desire to shop for exquisite handicrafts, savour delectable regional delicacies, or revel in the energy of lively cultural performances, Dilli Haat has something to captivate every soul.

Vivid experiences await

Established in 1994, Dilli Haat is a remarkable initiative to showcase and preserve India's rich and diverse cultural heritage. One of the unique aspects of Dilli Haat is the ever-changing showcase of arts and crafts shops, which rotate periodically. This dynamic approach ensures you are treated to a kaleidoscope of India's diversity, unveiling various arts, crafts, and traditions from different regions on every visit. It's a journey through the heart of the country, where the intricate handiwork and artistic expressions of countless artisans come to life.

The atmospheric setting, imbued with rustic charm and creative decoration, invites you to experience the authentic charm of India's countryside. Dilli Haat has three distinct facilities strategically located across Delhi. The most prominent one is opposite the iconic INA market, another is in Pitampura, and the third one is in Janakpuri. Each location serves as a vibrant hub, allowing you to explore, discover, and revel in the boundless creativity and heritage that define the nation's diverse identity.

Shop for a cause and culture

One of the main draws of Dilli Haat lies in its unique role as a platform that empowers rural artisans and craftsmen, offering them a direct connection with consumers and providing respite from the marginalisation often imposed by middlemen and market forces. By purchasing their exquisite creations, you acquire authentic and high-quality handicrafts and contribute to preserving traditional skills and livelihoods that have been cherished for generations.

Weaving through the stalls, you'll find a treasure trove of local delights. Antiques whisper stories of the past, while regional handicrafts and colourful embroidered camel hide footwear showcase the vibrant heritage of the area. Artisans display their skills with hand-woven carpets and rugs, intricately carved sandalwood and rosewood crafts, and gleaming brassware. For the fashion-conscious, there are silk sarees, flowing cloth, and dress materials alongside traditional jewellery, sleek European fashion, and stalls overflowing with clothes and both woollen and suave fabrics.
