Delhi is a shopper’s paradise.
 Most
states of India maintain marketing outlets in Delhi for their
handicrafts. Dilli Haat, the first ever permanent fair for
crafts, food and cultural activities in India, is one of the
main attractions to those looking for handicrafts and wishing
to sample the cuisines of various Indian states. Also on Baba
Kharak Singh Marg, just off Connaught Place, are located the
various Indian state emporia.
The best time to visit Delhi is the winter
season, starting from November t March. Summer is very hot
with the mercury touching mid 40 degrees.

Capital Region ( NCR , comprising Gurgaon, Noida, Ghaziabad
