Khan Market Delhi – Delhi's Most Upscale Shopping Destination

Khan Market was originally built in the 1950s to rehabilitate Punjabi refugees who came to Delhi after Partition.

Today Khan Market is known as the hub of Delhi's intellectual and creative class. It's not just shopping — it's a cultural experience. The market has a strong book culture, with Bahri Sons being one of Delhi's most beloved bookshops.
