As the cultural focal point of the City of Vancouver's Indo-Canadian population, the Punjabi Market is a five-block stretch along Main Street, between about East 49th and East 54th Avenues. Here you’ll find new immigrants along with grandparents bringing the second-generation grandkids for a taste of their homeland. Seeing and Doing Most of the activity in this commercial district is focused on shopping and eating. But there are a couple of attractions close by the neighbourhood for visitors to explore. The Ross Street Sikh Temple was built in 1969, designed by well-known Vancouver architect Arthur Erickson. The striking building is open to visitors to take a look inside—just make sure you take off your shoes and cover your hair with a provided kerchief or headscarf. Another architectural gem is the Sunset Community Centre at Main and East 52nd Avenue. Designed by another of Vancouver’s esteemed architects, Bing Thom, the centre offers a skating rink and community services under a distinctive swooped roof. Vancouver’s Punjabi Market also hosts an annual Vaisakhi Parade, running down Main Street, and absolutely filling the streets.

Little India is rapidly disappearing, but what's left of it is here. You can still find a couple of silk shops, some shops carrying gorgeous saris and bangles, and some questionable all-you-can-eats.
