The area around Karol Bagh properly settled after the partition when Punjabis from Pakistan made it there home and opened numerous shops to eke out a living. Today KB is a thriving commercial and business centre and there’s simply nothing that you can’t find here.
¤ Ajmal Khan Road
Situated in Karol Bagh, it used to be a place for inexpensive readymades, cotton yarn and embroidered garments but is much more than that now. Fancy stores, big international labels and all kinds Indian munchies and masalas are available here. The weekly haat (usually an informal village market ) held here every Monday, when all the big stores enjoy their weekly holiday, is perhaps the biggest of its kind in Delhi.
¤ Arya Samaj Road
A place where you can buy second hand books. But the real McCoy is actually the Sunday book bazaar held at Daryaganj.
¤ Bank Street
Just off Ajmal Khan Road, it has shop after shop displaying (and of course selling) gold jewellery. Pick up a handcrafted piece or a machine-made pattern, the variety is mind-boggling. Excellent for those shopping for their trousseau.
¤ Ghaffar Market
This labyrinth of alleys and lanes specialises in supplying any imported product that you can dream of buying sitting right here in India. From cosmetics through watches, sunglasses, calculators, eclectronic diares to hairdryers you can expect to find everything.
