Tiny shops line both sides of the narrow lanes in these markets. One can
find textiles, silver, handicrafts, aromatic spices, vegetables and colorful
Indian sweets in these shops.
This is one of oldest markets of Jodhpur. It is quite colorful and may
have around 6,000 to 7,000 tiny shops, but you must be prepared to walk
through the narrow lanes. The market is in the heart of the city. Shops
are popular for a wide range of handicrafts, making them favorite haunt
of shoppers. It was peak time in the summer when I visited these markets,
and the temperatures were nearing 40°C. There are shops selling sugar
cane juice and
lassi ade og yoghurts. I savoured these drinks and
also had local ice cream,
kulfi. The prices of the articles are
very inexpensive when you compare them to the prices in Mumbai or Delhi.
