    This place is a big crowded market area. There's no place for vehicle parking. If anyone brings their vehicle in, then he is going to struggle very hard to get out of this place.

    Very good place to spend time with cows. They have managed very well and cows are available in large numbers. The staff is very supportive. The place is very clean and you may donate whatever you like there. I had visited with my family to donate 70 kg of Gud but at that time , they have only 30 kg. I had paid the money for 70 kg and take the slip. They have provided 30 kg, and have promised to fed the cows on next day the remaining 40 kg. You may offer fruits or chara to cows which you will easily find outside the Goshala. If you require any help, the staff is always ready to help you.

    Shopping needs, a place suited for lower middle class and middle class. All kinds of clothes for all age groups for all occasions. Toys for children, local sweet shops offering samosas, jalebi and other fast foods. Well connected by bus and metro.

    Just past Delhi Gate, you come to a haveli with a stone doorway adorned with intricate floral patterns. Inside, a teak doorway leads to a large courtyard where a nearly century-old charpoy and an heirloom brass pot catch the attention. The traditional house could pass off for any well-preserved haveli of old Delhi. Gopi Singhal, the owner, is a cloth merchant and has spent many years conserving this ancestral haveli in Najafgarh in southwest Delhi.Yes, Delhi Gate and havelis recall the lingering old-world charm of old Delhi. But Najafgarh, unknown to most people, is also a hub of havelis. Unfortunately, the town which bears the name of Mughal official Mirza Najaf Khan, is burdened now with burgeoning modernity and slowly losing its heritage character.Perhaps the most striking example of this time-eroded legacy is Delhi Gate. The words on the top of the structure now call it the Vad Kishan Lal Duar. The old gateway is so completely revamped that it looks like a contemporary construction. Sudheer, who runs a book store opposite the gate, recalled its renovation by a local politician two decades ago. “Some people call it Delhi Gate, but most of us know it by its new name,” he shrugged.The gate, which has a plaque to commemorate the martyrs of World War I, is covered with tiles now. Suraj Kumar, senior conservator at Intach’s Delhi Chapter, rued that far removed from public consciousness, there was nobody to prevent the gateway’s shabby treatment. “Remnants of its old self are visible in the quartzite stone base and the Mughal-favoured Lakhori bricks interior, discernible at the spots where the tiles have fallen,” Kumar pointed out. SHARE FOLLOW US NEW DELHI: Just past Delhi Gate, you come to a haveli with a stone doorway adorned with intricate floral patterns.

Past the gate and the statue of Jawaharlal Nehru lie several havelis. Many of these, such as the old haveli adjacent to an Arya Samaj Mandir, have just the Lakhori brick exterior surviving, the thin, flat red bricks proving their Mughal provenance. This is where Singhal’s haveli stands. “My home is 150 years old and is still stronger than most new houses,” said the 49-year-old cloth merchant, who claimed that his grandfather was often called up for jury duty in British courts prior to independence. Singhal remembers how people mocked him when he decided to conserve the old haveli. “They advised me to spend my money on a modern house instead,” he said.

    It's setuated near Najafgarh Metro Station and renowned for its vibrant atmosphere, diverse range of shops, and historical significance. The market is a treasure trove for those seeking traditional Indian goods, from textiles and clothing to jewelry, spices, and handicrafts. The narrow lanes are lined with an array of small shops and stalls, each offering a unique selection of products. It's a sensory experience, with the aroma of spices filling the air and the vibrant colors of fabrics and wares creating a lively atmosphere.

    It's a good historical place for clicking pictures and knowing a little about India, Delhi. Moreover, there's always a big crowd here, many shops and stores are here for your convenience shopping for stationary, clothes, daily use products and many more things. You can reach here by metro for safe travelling and by bus or rickshaw, it will take a lot of time. Must visit this place!

    This is historical gate of delhi in front of this gate has a very old temple since 1505's around . Proper street market including shops of mostly women clothes and shoes/belly/heels. Nice place for budget shopping but lacks facilities like washrooms and drinking water. Good for exploring and buying some good clothes. Guys can also do the shopping.

    It's not a tourist place. Just watch and pass through by taking NIMBU or DOOPBATTI under the shadow. No one is aware about its history or use on present days. Any way it's DELHI GATE of Najafgarh. Enjoy the Sean.
