Lajpat Nagar Market
We like to visit regularly for their vast range of products, and they definitely amp up their game for all festivals. Expect to find a host of vendors supplying colour, pichkaaris and other paraphernalia.
Khan Market
Even though it is the poshest market in Delhi, they still have plenty of stalls with Holi colours and favours for you to check out as you walk around.
Sarojini Market
Considering this is a street market where you can find cheap clothes, household items, and anything else under the sun, it's not surprising that we recommend you visit Sarojini and check out their Holi offers.
