 Situated
in the heart of Delhi, the unique Dilli Haat is an upgraded version of
the traditional weekly market, offering a delightful amalgam of craft,
food and cultural activities. However, while the village Haat is a
mobile, flexible arrangement, at Dilli Haat, a permanent Haat, it is the
craftsmen who are mobile and ever - changing thereby offering a
kaleidoscopic view of the richness and diversity of Indian handicrafts
and artifacts.
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 trees,
plus a play corner for children have conjured up an oasis in which
visitors can browse at their leisure.
The food plaza enable 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. It often is a
venue for regional food festivals.
