Overview : Dilli Haat was established to provide a platform to craftsmen all over the country who were otherwise limited to their villages & towns. The purpose was to get rid of the middlemen and let artisan sell their products directly to indian & foreign buyers. There are fixed stalls representing many states. You can also relish variety of cuisines & enjoy the performing arts from different states of the country. It's a joint project of Delhi Tourism and Transportation Development Corporation (DTTDC) and New Delhi Municipal Corporation (NDMC). It's located on Aurobindo Marg & opposite INA Market one of the prominent commercial place in South Delhi.

earlier dilli-haat was encouraging artisans but now its encouraging traders, as you see the same set of people with same products just changing places throughtout the year.
thats correct. i am a businessman and i visit india every year.due to same product and same traders i am not visiting delli haat anymore. also the prices is not interesting anymore so i go to other wholesale now.
I remember around 10 years ago gosh it is long time, Dilli Haat use to celebrate coming of verious seasons, there were people from various states (new people every time), great artist, beautiful handicraft and there was a buzz about it. May be organisers have run out of inspiration or just the enthusiasm!!
Still happens i suppose!
