Delhi: Good place to get brass ornaments, Puja items etc?

Hi guys!

(posting from Pushkar)

Anyone got some recommendations for a place in Delhi that sells brass ornaments, Puja items, statues etc etc.
Not talking about the tourist trashy stuff in Pahar Ganj, mean the nice stuff.

Thanks a bunch...

You should be able to find them in Chandi Chowk. If you want really expensive stuff, try tourist shops that export these things.

Given the humidity/air in India, brass items lose their shine pretty quickly. Might not be in a problem if you are taking it abroad or keeping it in a glass case.

happy travelling

Janpath also has a few shops which sell good brass stuff. You will need to float around the market for a bit to be able to pin point them but if you have the time , theres definitely no harm done in checking the place out.
