Shopaholics, This Is Your Go-To Guide Through The Bylanes & Stalls Of Jwala Heri Market

Jwala Heri market can be rightly called the heart of Paschim Vihar. It's the busiest marketplace in West Delhi that is known for clothing, accessories, jewellery, food & computers. This bustling and congested market is particularly amazing for Indian Wear and quirky accessories (read : pom pom earrings and colourful dupattas!). 

As shoppers, it becomes very hard to visit a huge market and locate the best finds at cheap and cheerful prices. Well, no more! We're happy to jump to your rescue, and so here's a shopping guide taking you to the best places to shop and we've got something for the foodies too!

Important Tip - The entire market is shut on Wednesdays. 

Shopping:

1. Earrings

The jewellery designer called Bharti Bhavya creates particularly amazing pom pom earrings that will surely set you apart from the crowd. We found everything here to be hatke and trendy. The shop is in the rightmost lane that leads you to the back of the market. Wedding Jewellery and Bangles are something that they are particularly famous for. When in need for some lavish Indian accessories, do visit this place. 

Price for Earrings | Rs 50 - 250
Style Tip | Wear a simple kurti and put on matching pom pom earrings to add some oomph to your boring outfit!

2. Chunky Neckpieces 

Gone are the days when accessories were meant to compliment your outfit and not overpower it. These days it is all about making a statement! A classic outfit can be done up to make you look like a fashionista if you add a glamourous necklace to it. There are a bunch of street side stores which you can buy these from in the market. 

Price | Rs 100 - 200
Style Tip | Wear a plain dark coloured top with high rise jeans and a shrug. The necklace will make this casual outfit a classy one! 

3. Colourful Dupattas

If you're one who likes to play around with colourful dupattas to add different elements to your outfit, you just hit jackpot. You can get dupattas and stoles for as low as 50 to 100 bucks if you bargain the right way. The lane after the rightmost entrance of the market has a lot of vendors and you’ll get some great deals there. 

Price | Rs 50 - 200
Style Tip | Get a colourful one and wear it with different plain hued suits!

4. Colourful Footwear 

From classic Kolhapuris in a wide variety of colours to musical juttis, here is the recipe for some happy feet. While Kolhapuris slay with every casual outfit, juttis can also be worn with jeans and a short kurti to tap into the punjaban in you. These are from a vendor near the juice shop. 

Price | Rs 100-500
Style Tip | Wear Kolhapuris with a casual day outfit along with a side jhola to complete the bohemian look. 

5. Bags

Hidden in a small alleyway behind the shoe shop is an awesome bag shop that sells super trendy bags in really good quality at unbelievable prices. The bags range from wallets to totes and there definitely is one for every person. The quality is really good and some pieces like the heart shaped party clutch are very unique. 

Price | Rs 100 - 1000
Style Tip | That heart clutch is a statement in itself. Carry it with a simple LBD to be the belle of the ball. 

6. Latkans 

Don’t we all love the dangling bits around the waist or neck that makes you feel a lot more feminine? These vibrant touches can be added in any size according to your preference and they surely will make your outfit stand out. 

Price | Rs 50 - Rs 200
Style Tip | A slightly lower backline with a nice tie-up design using these latkans will make your saree goals a reality. 

Home Decor:

The lane beside PK Shoppe leads to an entirely new part of the market that deals in kitchen and bathroom accessories. We particularly loves the mugs that took us back to our childhood and the cutesy soup bowls. The prices of everything were quite reasonable and you can definitely bargain to save yourselves some moolah. The showpieces will also give you major interior design inspo. 

Hunger Break: 

After an entire day of shopping if you don’t feed your tummy some delish dishes, it's just plain unfair! So here are the must haves to beat those hunger pangs:

1. Golgappa Chaat

Golgappas are every street food lovers weakness and the Chaat Corner on the rightmost end of the market serves some lip smacking snacks; you can definitely find your personal favourite here. We love the Golgappa Chaat because it’s sweet and sour taste is just perfect! 

Price | Rs 70

2. Tandoori Naan Thali 

This tasty Naan Thali is super affordable and tastes quite decent. You can choose from an array of sabzis and there are unlimited refills. If you don’t mind moving a mile or two, Baljeet’s Amritsari Kulcha will surely blow you away with their taste and massive portion sizes. Read the review here.

Price | Rs 100

3. Mocktails 

There is nothing better than a glass of iced mocktail in your hand to beat the heat and keep you mind charged for your bargain jaunt. The mocktails from P K Shoppe (The bakery shop in the middle) were very flavourful and refreshing. They are so much better than the regular Nimbu Pani you’ll find on the streets and we definitely recommend trying the Passion Fruit and Blue Curacao mocktails!

Price | Rs 60 each

The market is full of new wonders for you to explore and become a fan of. So plan your weekend shopping spree with friends and let us know what you bought!
