DELHI



Now we have reached the south of Delhi!!!!

This is the Mehrauli flower market located in the area of Mehrauli in the South-West district of the capital. This area constitutes one of the seven ancient cities that makes up the state of Delhi.
This market is very amazing!! It's bustling with life the whole day!!It starts just before sunrise and closes after sunset but some shops near the main road sell bouquets. Wowwwww!!!!What various fragrances given off in this place!!!!
A lot of people come here in the morning before going to temple in order to buy flowers or garlands of flowers to make offerings to deities at the temple.

Unfortunately, this lovely place experienced a bomb blast the 27th of September 2008 which caused a lot of victims.

  4. That market looks amazing! colours, smells...
    I would love to go there!
    If I was living there I would have flowers all around my house all the time!
    I guess that temples must be amazing too with all those flowers everywhere...
    So sad what happened there. Do people still go there like before ?
