New Delhi Flea Markets: Your Complete Guide

-

By Kritika Malik

There are many flea markets in the capital city where people find time to go in numbers everyday to get their hands on the coolest products at unbelievable prices.

No malls and showrooms can replace these markets. The sorted aisle and price tags can never replace the  hustle bustle, the fight for the last piece and  the thrill in bargaining.

Everyday is a black Friday sale in these Delhi flea markets :

1. Sarojini Nagar :

One of the most famous markets in Delhi, this one is packed with amazing clothes at throw away prices. Sarojini Nagar is 3 km away from the South Campus of Delhi University and is visited by the college crowd.

The clothes here range from the simplest PJs to the raddest sequin dresses. If you’re lucky you might even find clothes from brands like Zara!
