I think connaught place would be a much better choice. Its centrally located and doesnt have the usual hustle bustle. Its beautifully decorated around diwali and has some great restaurants and hotels.

Karol Bagh market itself will be very beautifully decorated and since its not so stuck up as say CP or def col markets, it will be lots of fun as families go out for shopping, all dekked up for the occasion, all in all a very fun evening.

Better that you buy some sort of mask not very heavy, and go out with it. Wear it if you feel like it, otherwise just soak in the occasion and the festivity. It doesnt get bigger than this .. so enjoy

That 'fun' can be quiet overwhelming for many, especially those who are first-timers on Diwali. I would totally recommend CP over Karol Bagh any given day

Yeah, I agree, it could be overwhelming at first sight. It totally depends on how much you can handle. Karol Bagh will be more crowded and hence more lively. If you can handle the hustle and bustle of a festival crowd then why not

These markets -- Karol Bagh, Kamala Nagar, chandni chowk have their own character which you will never be able to find in the air-conditioned ambience of a mall or CP. Think about it. It could be the exeprience of a lifetime !!
