The market is spread across a large area on both sides of the road. Krishna Nagar is super crowded and you might not love the ambience but once you go around the place, you’ll be surprised. This place is a delight for shoppers, especially if you're looking for clothes, accessories and even footwear at throwaway prices, and if you make bargaining your friend!

Unlimited Supply Of Trendy Clothes

This place is sprawling with vendors and shops of all kinds. You’ll find clothes for as low as 50 bucks and we’re not bluffing when we say that! We managed to score an entire outfit including a woolen skirt and a knitted sweater for Rs 100 (even we were surprised). There’s an entire lane dedicated to apparel for women; tops, cover ups, jeans, shorts, dresses - you name it!

If you look hard enough, you might be able to score some really great party outfits as well for super low prices. Look out for placards that bear the legend ‘fixed prices’ (Rs 50 – Rs 200) to save yourself the extra effort. We even saw a vendor selling beautiful dupattas for Rs 300 to jazz up those ethnic outfits. 

Paradise For Jewellery Junkies & Shoe-holics

No outfit is complete without some accessories to make it stand out and that’s exactly why you must check out Lal Quarter. You’ll be able to score a lot of funky jewellery starting at just Rs 30. We found some really nice statement earrings that were being sold by a street vendor along with neckpieces, rings - et al. 

You will also get belts and bags in all kinds of colours and varieties. There are some small cosmetic shops as well so you can get your hands on some pretty nail paints too. Coming to footwear, we’d suggest you check out stores like Footways because they have a really great collection, apart from the small nameless vendors found here.

Street Shopping And Store Hopping

Some of the famous ones being Jeeta Kulfi Wale, Amritsaria Chaat Bhandar, Ram Laddoo Bhandar and Super Snacks.

Reaching Lal Quarter

Delhi Metro is literally the backbone of our capital and that’s why we’d suggest that you take the metro and get down at Welcome Metro Station on the Red Line or Preet Vihar Metro Station on the Blue Line. Take an auto rickshaw or e-rickshaw from there till Lal Quarter Market, which is approachable from all sides as it's well connected with roads to other parts of East Delhi.

There you go - if your wardrobe needs some new dresses or you wanna pick up some quirky junk jewellery, you now know where to go!
