A sprawling group of expanding circles, with endless shops, restaurants, stalls, beggars and entertainment. An absolute must when in central Delhi. Ideal for dining or just relaxed exploring. Some recognizable shops but mostly local.

Connaught Place is officially known as Rajiv Chowk after renaming in 1995, named after the Late Prime Minister of India Mr. Rajiv Gandhi. Commonly it is called CP. It is not exaggerated if we call it Heart of New Delhi. It is one of the main tourist centre, a main financial, commercial and business centre in Delhi. It is a prestige to have office in Connaught Place. There are showrooms of all major small and big brands, which attracts locals also for shopping. There are two circles, inner and outer with heritage buildings having shops, showrooms, lots of restaurants serving multiple and specific cuisines, fast food chains, snacks shops, tea and coffee shops, Multiplexes, road side hawkers, etc. was developed by Englishmen way back in 1933. The whole area and surroundings including Janpath, Rajpath, India Gate, Sansad Bhawan, Rashtrapati Bhawan, Lutyens' Delhi is well designed and beautifully constructed. Several roads emerge from Connaught Place in all directions going to different parts of the city. We were there to Shop wedding dresses and shoes etc. One can reach here by Metro train very easily. One can by handicrafts, local dresses of any of Indian States from State Emporiums showrooms situated near Shiwaji Stadium. Largest Khadi Bhawan is quite popular shopping destination in CP. We had South Indian food in Naivedyam Restaurant. One can enjoy street artist’s performances in the evenings.

One of my favorite places in New Delhi - with lots of restaurants, street food, local shops and brand shops. One of the places in Delhi where you feel safe and comfortable to walk. Yeah, the crowd is usually huge but it is what expected from the city center.
