No big shops here, just small kiosks selling all kinds of cotton clothes and curios that you may like to take home. Most of the clothes are export surplus garments and are sold dirt-cheap (you just need the patience to bargain). There’s lots of silver and artificial jewellery studded with semi-precious stones in the small Tibetan shops that abound here. But then you need to know your silver from the fake stuff. Refugees who came after the Partition and Tibetans who came when China invaded Tibet settled here as traders and put up this market.
Another must while you are at Janpath is the Central Cottage Industries Emporium. Across the reoad from Janpath, in Jawahar Vyapar Bhavan, this is the place to go for Indian handicrafts.
