Now a days the mega city of Delhi has many shopping malls where you can buy almost everything. But 20 years back, it was surely a hip place in Delhi. It was constructed underground at Delhi's most happening place called Connaught Place or CP. It used to be famous for fancy good and fashionable clothes!

This shop sells rugs, jewelry, local crafts, etc.. My husband and I bought two rugs there for US$2700 with the promise that it would be delivered to our country, Brazil, at our door, with no extra charges. We were told that there was an arrangement with the Indian government, so, probably, we would not have to pay duties. The salesman also promised to ship the carpets with an accompanying receipt of a lesser value, just in case. Of course, he did not do it! Result: The carpets arrived in a nice, tight package, however we had to pay US$2500 in duties (!!!). So, be careful, some countries will charge customs.

The decor is contemporary and the interior cool and clean. Barista coffee shops are taking over India it seems, with the 89th one opened in Delhi this year!
What to buy: The coffee is great and the cakes much better than any at Starbucks for example (which this chain resembles but outdoes... in my opinion.).

The Janpath market is close to the Jantar Mantar. I have not been to the market literally but from the numerous visits around the market I have an idea that it is a nice place to shop for local crafts, souvenirs, jewellery, wall hangings and other decoratives.
What to buy: local crafts, souvenirs, jewellery, wall hangings and other decoratives.
What to pay: no idea

Sadar Bazaar is one of largest and busiest wholesale markets of household items in Delhi and is therefore very crowded most of the business hours. Though it is a wholesale market but it is also possible to buy items in small quantity. The market is a total chaos, and therefore, worth a visit for tourists as well. Most important of all, the items sold here are priced half the prices in shops outside or anywhere in Delhi.
What to buy: Childrens toys, dolls, games, rides, bikes, swings etc.
What to pay: least
