What does Dilli Haat INA offer?
Dilli Haat INA combines craft shopping, regional food and cultural spaces in one open-air complex. Delhi Tourism describes it as a joint project involving Delhi Tourism, NDMC, the offices of the Development Commissioner for Handicrafts and Handlooms, and the Union ministries of Textiles and Tourism.
Craft stalls are allotted to registered craftspeople from across India on a rotating basis, with each allotment lasting 15 days. That rotation gives the market a changing selection of handmade goods rather than a fixed set of stalls.
Alongside the craft and food stalls, the complex has an exhibition hall, a souvenir shop, an open stage for cultural programmes and a children's play area. The architecture draws on traditional North Indian styles, including brick latticework, stone roofs and thatched-roof cottages.
