Janpath Market

This guide to Janpath Market in Delhi traces two waves of refugees who built it: families who fled across the new India-Pakistan border during Partition in 1947, and Tibetan exiles who arrived after the 1959 uprising, among them followers of the Dalai Lama. It follows how each group turned loss into a livelihood, from the earliest stalls near Connaught Place to the Tibetan lane's Himalayan crafts, silver jewelry and woolen shawls. Look for the framed photographs of the Dalai Lama above almost every stall in that lane, and the craftsmen still making what they sell.
