Delhi’s third Dilli Haat at Janakpuri is set to be opened from Sunday. For music lovers in the Capital, the upcoming Dilli Haat at Janakpuri is the place to be. Unlike the other two Dilli Haats at INA and Pitampura, Delhi’s third Dilli Haat is being developed on a theme — music.
Not only will the Haat have a music library where you can trace the history of Indian music through records and books, there will be a dedicated museum where you will be able to find various old and new Indian music instruments and other artefacts.
The entrance of the Haat have a 12-feet-tall sculpture — an abstract form of a human — holding various Indian and western instruments followed by a spiral sphere with various notes and ragas written on it.
“The Janakpuri Dilli Haat will be a cultural hub of West Delhi and will certainly become one of the most happening places in the city. There is a wave of enthusiasm among youngsters who are crazy to visit this landmark Dilli Haat,” said former councillor Sanjay Puri.
The working on this project was initiated by him when he was councillor of Janakpuri in year 2002.
The Haat will also be the greenest of the lot. “We have designed the haat in such a way that more than 100 fully grown trees have been saved. These trees have been assimilated into the design,” a senior DTTDC official said.
