Since ages, through spices India has had a strong bonding with the west and a business generating factor. Just stand and watch the variety of spices and how they are packed. It's a sight to watch.

If you think it's too chaotic, it's a good idea to explore the lanes and bylanes of this area and the surrounding places too.

Enjoy Qawwalis at Nizamuddin
