Haryana Selection

Haryana Selection is tucked away at Shop No 1412 in Maliwara, right in the heart of Chandni Chowk. If you have ever been to this part of Delhi, you know how narrow the lanes are and how many people are packed into them. It is loud, it is messy, and it is full of life. Our shop is old and the walls show it, but it has a lot of character. We don't have air conditioning that works very well, so we rely on the old ceiling fans during the summer months. People come to Maliwara specifically for what we sell, so we don't have to go out and look for customers. They find us eventually, even if they get lost in the maze of alleys first. We keep our stock piled high up to the ceiling because space is so hard to find around here. Sometimes it takes two of us to get something down from the top shelf using a rickety wooden ladder. It is not a polished showroom by any means. There is thread on the floor and the smell of old fabric and chai in the air. We’ve been here for a long time and we know the other shopkeepers on the block like family. It’s a hard place to work sometimes because of the heat and the crowds, but we wouldn't want to be anywhere else.
