Khari Baoli Rd

This place can be visited if you have to buy dryfruits and masals in bulk/ wholesale means it should be minimum 10 kg each and the wholesale shops are deep inside the market away from main road. Prices of items at onroad shops are not much different from local market if you buy in retail. For a 20-50 Rs you should not run here. This is a crowdy place and maximum time there is a traffic jam on main road because of the carts and rickshaws. Car parking is atleast 1 km away and paid. Bike can be parked for a local purchase at own risk. Max shops have fixed price. You can get varieties here. Thanks and will update it later of needed. Like the review if found helpful.

Khari Baoli market came up around the Fatehpuri Masjid, which was built in 1650 by Fatehpuri Begum, one of Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan's wives. During Shah Jahan's reign it came to be known as Khari Baoli (from Baoli, meaning step well, and Khari or Khara, meaning salty) from a saline water stepwell used for animals and for bathing. It was constructed along with a fortified gateway on its western end popularly known as Lahori Gate, one of the 14 gates of the fortified city of Delhi or Shahjahanabad, named so because a road through it led to the city of Lahore, now in Pakistan. The market is situated near the historic Delhi Red Fort, on the Khari Baoli Road adjacent to Fatehpuri Masjid at the western end of the Chandni Chowk. Dry fruit shops at start of Khari Baoli near Fatehpuri Masjid sell everything from a wide variety of nuts like almonds, cashews, and pistachios, to dried fruits such as raisins and dates, and often include other products like spices, roasted nuts, and mixed dry fruit blends. period leading up to Diwali is peak season for dry fruit shops in Khari Baoli, as people traditionally buy dry fruits as gifts and for festive cooking and consumption.
