This bustling spot is popular with locals and tourists looking for bargains, and the sheer variety of merchandise on offer means you could easily spend half a day rummaging around its numerous shops and stalls. Most visitors who come here either come independently or as part of a Delhi market tour; the latter is advisable if you want help haggling or just need some assistance navigating the labyrinthine market.
Sarojini Nagar is located in South Delhi, in the heart of an otherwise residential area. If not arriving as part of an organized tour, you can reach the market by taking the metro to the newly-built Sarojini Nagar station, a few minutes’ walk away. If you’d prefer private transportation, there are usually plenty of autorickshaws waiting in front of the market for departing passengers.
Sarojini Nagar Market is open every day of the week except for Mondays, with most stalls opening mid-morning and staying open until around dinnertime. It's a popular evening destination, and you'll get the best bargains (and avoid the big crowds) by arriving earlier in the day.
Delhi offers some great opportunities for open-air market shopping, with each market having a little flair all its own. While Sarojini is great for Western clothing, you’ll find all sorts of wedding accessories in Old Delhi’s Chandni Chowk, while hippie fashion takes center stage at Paharganj. And if you want souvenirs without the hassle of crowds and bargaining, the government-sponsored Dilli Haat is designed to create a peaceful shopping environment suitable for tourists.
