Chandni Chowk has delicious mithai and dry fruits

If the titles Sondesh from Annapurna Bhandar, Karachi Halwa from Chaina Ram Sindhi Confectioners, and Ghiya Ki Barfi from Shyam Sweets have you drooling, you are a Dilliwala! And because no Diwali is complete without indulging in some delectable mithai and snacking on dried fruits, we're sure you're planning a trip to Chandni Chowk soon.

Purchase New Ethnic Clothes from Lajpat Nagar/Dilli Haat to Shine at Diwali Parties

Jeans, dresses, and skirts are all fashionable and comfy, but nothing rivals the appeal of good ol' suits and kurta pyjamas for Diwali festivities, are we right? And suppose you don't have anything to wear to the hundreds of get-togethers, card parties, and dinners to which you've been asked. In that case, it's time to go shopping in Dilli Haat, Lajpat Nagar, Sarojini Nagar, or Janpath because every celebration requires a new outfit, folks! So be ready to SHOP!
