of the city.
Shopping
Hub
Delhi is a Mecca for shoppers. There are
many high rising malls in the city which have all the branded stores and you
can buy almost everything you long for. But then branded stores are available
all over the world. Why should anybody come all the way to Delhi to spend money
on shopping?? The answer is very simple. Besides branded shopping which is a
class icon, Delhi is a hub of budget shopping. If you are looking for quality
stuff that doesn’t come along with big tag, you must visit the crowded narrow
lanes of Chandani Chowk Market in
Old Delhi. You can find cloths, decoration items, natural perfumes, precious
stones and much more at very cheap prices.
Lajpat
Nagar and Sarojini Nagar Markets
are famous for variety of cloths available at stealing prices. In these markets
you can choose from a wide range of options available for both Indian and
Western cloth. You will also find some good accessories and footwear to match
your style. For a bit classy shopping visit Dilli Haat. All kinds of handicraft items famous in India can be
found here. There are stalls dedicated to different states of India and all
handmade items famous for that particular state can be found here. Its vibrant
and colourful look energises you. Before visiting these markets you must learn
some tactics of bargaining which will help you in saving money.
Left
alone monuments
Delhi is a city of monuments. There are
only few of them that have become famous and there are many that stand in
isolation.
These monuments like Mutiny
Memorial, Maqbara Paik, Turkman Gate, "Bara Lao Ka Gumbad' and the Baradari at Vasant Vihar, Gol Gumbad
etc. give an insight to the history of the city. These monuments and many others like them are hidden treasures of the city which have so far not been explored by the travellers. While enhancing your knowledge about the glorious past of the city, you can also enjoy peace and solace for some time in this otherwise busy city.
Paradise
for Food
One of the best reasons to visit Delhi is
the delicious food available here. You can try the authentic cuisines from all
over the world in the famous hotels and restaurants.
But if you really want to
indulge in riot of taste, you will have to forget about the style, ambience and
bland food of the five star hotels. Paranthe
Wali Gali in Chandani Chowk provides some of the lip smacking local
cuisine. Your trip to Delhi will remain incomplete without savouring on ‘dilli ki chaat,’ ‘tikkis’, ‘chole Bhature’
‘lassi’ and much more. The best of these items can be enjoyed at the shop
of a local vendor at UPSC office
near India Gate. Bangali Market, the
oldest and most popular market in the city is yet another place to taste the
delicacies of India. Do not worry much about the hygiene. The ‘street foods of India’ are served on the streets but are made hygienically. The only caution you must take is having them in lesser quantity as they are spicy and you might not be able to digest them very quickly.
Religious
Respite
End your day at a peaceful note by
listening to some soothing music at the Dargah
of Hazrat Nizzamuddin Auliya or Dargah
of Baba MatkaPeer.
You can enjoy some heart touching quwaalis sung in the
praise of Allah (God almighty) at these places. Gurudwara Bangla Sahib and ISKON
Temple are other religious places where you can spend some quality time
with good music.
