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 skilfully 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 savour the inimitable
flavours 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 skilfully 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 woollens ..... 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 colours and vibrant contrasts.
