Paharganj Market

Paharganj is a neighbourhood of Central Delhi, located just west of the New Delhi Railway Station. Known as Shahganj or King's ganj or market place during Mughal era, it is one of the three administrative subdivisions, of the Central Delhi district, of the National Capital Territory of Delhi, with the other two being, Darya Ganj and Karol Bagh. Paharganj is the most chaotic, noisy, dirty and yet the most vibrant market of Delhi. Dotted with umpteen hotels, brothels, cheap bars, and ultra cheap restaurants; the labyrinthian alleys of Paharganj have a lot more to offer than visible to the naked eye. It is the perfect place to shop anything at the lowest possible price. Mostly popular for banana pancakes, Bob Marley merchandise and smoking shenanigans; the alley is a wonderful amalgamation of colour, chaos and culture. Paharganj, rightly, can be defined as a tiny world in itself; it brims with experience and exposure, and you are sure to get enamoured by its audacity to stand out from the rest of the city.
