So, the beauty about this market is that you’ll find the biggest of brands such as Westside, Manyavar, Bata, Pantaloons, etc. sharing their space with flea vendors, stall owners and small shops. This makes it the most interesting and a manifold market to shop from, wherein you can find clothes for as cheap as Rs.100 and as expensive as Rs.1,00,000 and above, all in the same place.

If you visit this market from the Karol bagh metro station’s entrance, you will find a lot of thrift shops which sells clothes, footwears, artificial and silver jewellery, at a very cheap price range.

I recently purchased some really cool drop shoulder, oversized sweaters and sweater vests each for just Rs.150. I also bought a wallet, some silver jewellery, all at very affordable prices.
