CENTRAL COTTAGE INDUSTRIES EMPORIUM
Read moreYou can't miss this huge state emporium set in a high tower. Inside, six floors well stocked with handicrafts from the country: sandalwood statuettes, glittering emeralds, hammered coffee tables, Assam tea, traditional dresses, etc. We recommend the fabric floor: an infinite variety of materials (silk, cotton, wool) at reasonable prices. It's more expensive than elsewhere, but we guarantee the origin and authenticity.
NEW KASHMIR ART GALLERY
Read moreHabib's family specializes in pashmina, those Himalayan goat wool stoles... but not only. In this small store, you will find everything you need to please your loved ones: stoles, shawls, carpets, paper mache objects, leather clothes... As everywhere else, haggle over the prices and you should leave with your arms full. Habib or his son Yassin can even pick you up at your hotel. A simple phone call is enough, of course, you are not obliged to buy!
BHAGIRATH PALACE
Read moreThe palace of light: from the lamp to the retro lamp through the candlestick, we find all the periods and all the styles. Prized by antique dealers who come to find rare pieces, the market is punctuated by old stalls installed there since 1950. Some of their occupants (no longer young) will gladly tell you anecdotes about the district of Old Delhi that they have seen evolve. During Diwali (the festival of lights), Eid or Christmas, put on sunglasses because the place is even more dazzling!
