Gole Market is a neighborhood in the heart of New Delhi, India built within a traffic roundabout by Edwin Lutyens in 1921.
[2] The octagonal market, designed by Edwin Lutyens, was built in 1921 as an important part of a wider development plan.
[3] These employees worked at the nearby Secretariat Building, as most government offices had relocated from Old Delhi a decade before the new capital had been inaugurated in 1931.
In February 2013, twenty-eight of the market's shopkeepers petitioned against the NDMC's alleged move to take over their shops in the Delhi High Court.
It stands inside a busy roundabout earlier known as Alexandra Place,[12] and its height was kept low to allow a clear view of the nearby Sacred Heart Cathedral.
Located in close proximity to various political buildings, it also houses the Communist Party of India's Delhi headquarters.
Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit contested and won the Gole Market seat in the 1998 and 2003 assembly elections.
