Dilli Haat (INA): all of India in one bazaar
All India in One Bazaar
Dilli Haat is a permanent open-air crafts fair run by Delhi Tourism opposite INA metro: thatched stalls where craftspeople from across India sell their own work for a fortnight at a time, and food stalls from many states. It costs more than the bazaars, but there is no haggling, and the stallholders are craftspeople registered with the government.

👣 How to do Dilli Haat
The market is compact; the order is crafts first, food second, so you shop before the evening crowd.
- Walk every craft row once
Stalls are allotted by state, on rotation, to craftspeople registered with the government's handicrafts office, usually for 15 days. That means two things: the person behind the table often made what is on it, and what you see this week may be gone next. Look for Kashmiri shawls, Madhubani painting, bamboo work from the North-East, carvings, brass and textiles; if something is right, buy it now.
- Then eat across the states
The food stalls are the second reason to come: momos from Sikkim, litti-chokha from Bihar, puran poli from Maharashtra, Gujarati dhokla, kahwa (spiced green tea) and kebabs from Jammu. Order small from several counters rather than a full meal at one. Momo fans will find more on momos in Delhi.
- Check the exhibition hall
Shows of handicrafts and handlooms, and sometimes music and dance from different states, are held in the complex; ask at the gate what is on.
Hours, entry and when to come
Entry is ticketed at the gate: Delhi Tourism lists about ₹30 for adults, ₹20 for children and ₹100 for foreign visitors, and gives the hours as 11:00–20:00 daily. It is an open-air market, so the season matters: October and February to March are pleasant, in May and June come towards evening, and from November to January check the smog first. The stock changes every fortnight, so a second visit on a longer trip is never quite the same market.
Dilli Haat compared with other markets
Dilli Haat sits between the extremes. Janpath and the Old City are cheaper, with bargaining and more risk; Khan Market is the fixed-price brand version. Across the road from the gate is INA Market, a lively market of its own.
INA station is on both the Yellow and Pink lines. The Pink Line also serves Sarojini Nagar for export-surplus clothes and Lajpat Nagar, so a shopping day can link all three. There is nothing to stay for here; the area is a visit, not a base (where to stay in Delhi). The whole market map is on Delhi markets.
