“It’s very difficult to shop at Sadar during the festive time. But I still chose to come here all the way from Gurugram because shopping for Diwali lights is incomplete without a visit to this market. I brought along my daughter this time, who is not used to seeing such rush yet enjoyed the whole experience. We’ve bought revolving glass lights this year and are spoilt for choice due to the variety of designs available.” - Kriti Sharma, Homemaker
