Khan Market was originally built in the 1950s to rehabilitate Punjabi refugees who came to Delhi after Partition. Named after Khan Abdul Jabbar Khan, a leader of the Partition-era refugee resettlement movement, the market has transformed dramatically over the decades into one of Delhi's most fashionable addresses.
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.
