Department Stores and Shopping Centers in Delhi
Delhi has a burgeoning mall culture comparable to that of the US in the 1980s. Malls are clean and well-maintained and are generally more expensive than markets. They’re also air-conditioned, and this alone draws huge crowds during the hot Delhi summers, when temperatures peak above 45 degrees Celsius.
