'''Dilli Haat''' is a paid-entrance open-air market, food plaza, and craft bazaar located in [[Delhi]]. The area is run by [[Delhi Tourism and Transportation Development Corporation]] (DTTDC), and unlike the traditional weekly market, the village Haat, Dilli Haat is permanent. It is located in the commercial centres of [[South Delhi]], opposite [[INA Market|INA market]]. The 6 acres of land on which this complex is situated was salvaged as part of a reclamation project and transformed into a plaza. Extensive foundation work, small thatched roof cottages and kiosks give the plaza a village atmosphere. The culture and the environment of dilli Haat is very good. People from outside come and visit Dilli Haat. It is a good place to visit with family and friends. Some shops are permanent but other sellers are rotated, usually for fifteen days.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.thedelhicity.com/DelhiGuide/Dgu_lnd/dillihaat.htm |title=Dilli Haat |work=Delhi Guide |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070324093556/http://www.thedelhicity.com/DelhiGuide/Dgu_lnd/dillihaat.htm |archive-date=2007-03-24 }}</ref> Products offered may include [[rosewood]] and [[sandalwood]] [[wood carving|carving]]s, embellished [[camel]] hide footwear, sophisticated fabric and drapery, [[gemstone|gem]]s, [[bead]]s, [[brass]]ware, metal crafts, and [[silk]] & [[wool]] fabrics.
