The textile and clothing lanes of Karol Bagh, centred on Ajmal Khan Road and the adjacent side streets, are among Delhi's best destinations for readymade Indian fashion at accessible prices. The shops stock a huge range of salwar kameez suits, sarees, lehengas, and kurtas, with many stores catering to wedding shopping where both budget and mid-range options are available.
The area is particularly known for bridal wear and occasion dressing, and the concentration of shops makes it efficient to compare options across dozens of stores in a single afternoon. Several fabric shops sell by the metre for those who prefer to take material to their own tailor. The market is busiest in the run-up to wedding season (October-November and February-March).
