No shopping place is complete without jwellery and so Dilli Haat also Had a wide variety of it. A prominent jwellery item visible there was lac bangles.These bangles are considered an auspicious sign of suhaag or marriage by women, cutting across caste and community lines. Muslim artisans from Rajasthan who migrated to other regions around 1947 are credited to have brought the craft to Bihar and other parts of North India. These bangles were a recurring attraction at the Dilli Haat telling us about their pan India demand and popularity. (Arts and crafts of India by Barnard, Nicholas)
