'''Janpath''' (meaning '''People's Path''', [[British Raj|formerly]] known as '''Queensway''') is one of the main roads in New Delhi. It starts out as Radial Road 1 in [[Connaught Place, New Delhi|Connaught Place]], adjacent to [[Palika Bazaar]], and runs north–south perpendicular to [[Rajpath|Kartavya Path]] (earlier Rajpath or the "Rulers' path"). Originally called Queen's Way, it was an important part of [[Edwin Lutyens|Lutyens]]' design of the administrative [[New Delhi]], upon the inauguration of new capital of India in 1931. Janpath Market is one of the most famous markets for tourists (both Indian and foreign) in New Delhi. The market essentially is a long line of boutique stores selling products which are hard to find in the malls and multi-chain stores of the city. The long line of boutiques is for budget travellers and shoppers, buyers of handicrafts and garments, curio and numerous Indian-style fast-food places.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.wcities.com/en/record/62,319640/684/record.html |title=Janpath Market |access-date=21 August 2009 |archive-date=17 July 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090717102534/http://www.wcities.com/en/record/62,319640/684/record.html |url-status=dead }}</ref> It was created during the [[Construction of New Delhi]].
