Dilli Haat is a paid-entrance open-air food plaza and craftbazaar located in Delhi, run by Delhi Tourism and Transportation Development Corporation. Unlike the traditional weekly market, the village Haat, Dilli
Haat is permanent. It is located in the commercial centres of South Delhi, opposite INA market. Extensive
foundation work, small thatched roof cottages and kiosks give the plaza a
village atmosphere. Some shops are permanent but other sellers are
rotated, usually for fifteen days.Products offered may include rosewood and sandalwood carvings, embellished camel hide footwear, sophisticated fabric and drapery, gems, beads, brassware, metal crafts, and silk & wool
fabrics.
The History of dillihaat tells us that it was established and opened in
1994 with the joint venture of Delhi Tourism (DTDC), D.C (Handicrafts),
NMDC, D.C. (Handlooms) and Ministry of Tourism and Textile, Government
of India.The DILLI HAAT provides the ambience of a traditional Rural Haat or village market, but one suited for more contemporary needs. Here one sees a synthesis of crafts, food and cultural
activity.
