Bagh and Chandni Chowk are the principle shopping areas |
| |
| Karol Bagh & Around |
|
The area around Karol Bagh properly settled after
the partition when Punjabis from Pakistan made it
there home and opened numerous shops to eke out a
living. Today KB is a thriving commercial and business
centre and there’s simply nothing that you can’t
find here.
|
| Karol Bagh is a mixed residential/commercial
neighbourhood in West-Central Delhi. It is primarily
known today as a shopping area, which was originally
centred on the main street, called Ajmal Khan Road.
In recent years, commercial activity has expanded into
the lanes that lead off it, swallowing once-residential
areas which now house a large concentration of mid-range
hotels catering to a mixture of domestic businessmen
and foreign tourists. Some of the best-known shops on
Ajmal Khan Road include Roopak’s, a spice store,
but what the market is mainly known for is clothes and
shoes. |
| |
| Connaught Place |
|
Connaught Place has a long and distinguished history
behind it. Named after the Duke of Connaught, a member
of the British royal family, this market was designed
by Designed by Robert Tor Russell in collaboration
with WH Nicholls. A sprawling circular market, it
was the largest of its kind in India at that time.
Apart from being the commercial and business hub of
Delhi, CP has countless restaurants, watering holes,
shops and emporia and cinema halls too.
