Delhi, the capital city of India, is enjoying the best weather of the year. As autumn is setting in, the sunny days are very enjoyable with the mornings and evenings having a slight chill. It's the kind of weather which urges you to step out and enjoy every second of the pleasent day.
As a ritual, a trip to one of Delhi ' s culturally most active place is a must in this season. Delhi Haat, is an open-air food plaza and cradia. It is place where artisans and artists from different states of india come and showcase their goods and talent.
Shops in small thatched roof cottages and kiosks give the plaza a village atmosphere.Products offered may include rosewood and sandalwood carvings, embellished camel hide footwear, sophisticated fabric and drapery, gems , beads ,brassware, metal crafts, and silk and wool fabrics. A number of shows promoting handicrafts and handlooms are held at the exhibition hall in the complex.
Occasionally fests are held in Dilli Haat where in artists from different parts of India come and perform and show their talent.
It was indeed a day well spent in Dilli Haat. I was so culturally motivated by watching the performances by talented artists and by seeing the variety of handicrafts that various craftsmen had to showcase.!

Dilli Haat looks so colorful and full of life, I can feel the very spirit of this marvelous place watching your vivid and expressive photos. Wish I were there, too.
They have a lot of crafts in Dilli Haat. They also have a rich heritage with their dances and traditions.
I've always admired India as a whole for the rich culture. I'm so in love with the items especially those house displays like plates, etc. Hoping some time soon, I would be able to pay India a visit. :)
So much colour, I could easily get lost in a market place like that for hours! I can imagine the smell of sandalwood is amazing! Stunning images Simone x
Wow, there are tons of lovely items to purchase here. I would be for sure spending a lot of money, LOL

Delhi is definitely one of my must visit places for cultural immersion, is this Delhi Haat just for this season? or is it occurring annually?

I have very fond memories of dilli haat during my college time when almost every week we used to spend the time there and lovely food outlets to relish the food.
I love local markets..from artifacts to chapals to jewelleries to apparel..you get everything at an affordable rate...the only thing I hate is bargaining cause I am such a bad bargain shopper :P
The place looks great especially the delightful store and experience places to buy genuine handicrafts.
This looks so amazing!!!!A totally different culture than mine!Sure a must visit pace!
Induan culture is so rich. I love the antiques
