1 DILLI HAAT
Dilli Haat has been planned as a democratic space in the city. Public space is integrated with a backdrop of a food and craft market to create an ambience reminiscent of traditional Indian bazaars. This is an egalitarian space where people from all sections of the society come to buy crafts, to eat, to relax and to engage in diverse social interaction. Unlike the traditional weekly market, the village Haat, Dilli Haat is permanent. Some shops are permanent but other sellers are rotated, usually for fifteen days. 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. Shows promoting handicrafts and handlooms are held at the exhibition hall in the complex. To sell wares, there is an application process and spaces are allocated according to which state the seller is from. On festive occasions activities like mehandi, friendship band making, calligraphy, name writing on rice grain etc also take place.
