Shahpur Jat
Near the ruins of centuries-old Siri Fort, Shahpur Jat is a tiny urban village that’s become a hip, bohemian enclave, home to designers’ studios and quirky shops. Along narrow streets decorated with vivid murals, cozy stores offer elaborately packaged teas, pillowcases printed with Indian motifs, embroidered saris, and tunics. Several low-key coffee shops and bistros serve a mix of Indian and Western food.
Jat has become the go-to shopping destination for every bride-to-be, thanks to a number of great independent boutiques selling everything from designer sarees and jewellery to men’s tuxedos. This area is also the place to be if you’re travelling all the way to Delhi to attend an Indian friend’s wedding.

Monuments in Shahpur Jat
About 900 years ago, Shahpur Jat was slowly occupied by the Dagar farmers from Indri in Haryana. The land was fertile, they were ablefarmers and got rich quickly. As more clans came in, Shahpur Jat(the wealthy colony of Jats) came into being.
The surrounding area in ruins now, but Shahpur Jat still draws tourists to the old monuments… and some chic shops! The Government acquired the open farmlands here in 1978, to create the posh colonies of the Asiad Village, Panchsheel Park and Hauz Khas. The already heavily compensated farmers laters made a killing by adding extra floors to their houses – it is these structures that now house designers’ shops.
