Central Market
Central Market, Lajpat Nagar II, Lajpat Nagar, New Delhi, Delhi 110024
Bazaar established by Partition refugees, today a hub for bridal wear, fabrics, and street food.
This guide to Central Market in Delhi traces the Partition refugees of nineteen forty-seven who arrived with nothing, camped inside Purana Qila, and eventually built this bridal bazaar from scratch. It follows the clothing merchants of Lahore and textile traders of Sindh who set up its first stalls, and the government-built colony of Lajpat Nagar where many of Delhi's refugee families started over.
