The best thing about the festive season? Well, it’s hard to pick just one, but if we had to, shopping would easily take the crown. Because no one’s immune to those impulsive buys that happen this time around with thoughts like, “This will look so good in our home,” or “I’ll wear it for the morning aarti.” Everything—from outfits to decor—needs to look new, bright, and immensely festive.

And with Diwali just around the corner, there’s something about offline shopping that hits different. The buzz, the lights, the chaos (good kind), the sheer joy in the air—it’s unmatched. So, here are some of the best Diwali and festive-special flea markets, pop-ups, and bazaars in Delhi where you can (very happily) empty your wallet, because if not now, when?
