Johari Bazaar, Tripolia Bazaar, Chandpole Bazaar, Nehru Bazaar, and Mirza Ismail Road are some of the major markets worth exploring. These traditional markets are famous for handicrafts and affordably priced items, making shopping in Jaipur a delightful experience.
One of the most famous shopping destinations in Delhi is Chandni Chowk, a bustling market in Old Delhi. Here, you can explore narrow lanes filled with shops selling everything from textiles and jewellery to spices and street food. It's a true treasure trove of Indian culture and craftsmanship.
Jaipur is renowned for its textiles and fabrics, with Bandhani (tie-dye) and Leheriya (wave pattern) being two of the most iconic styles. Stroll through the bustling markets to discover an array of colorful fabrics, including sarees, scarves, and clothing adorned with these traditional prints.
I love shopping in India and especially in Jaipur and Delhi. Personally, I think they are the best shopping cities in India and I have spent a LOT of time in both, scouring the stores and markets.
As shopping is a favourite pastime – you might say obsession – I have published some general shopping guides on Breathedreamgo, which can help you discover the best products to buy, and also find out about the main markets
At India for Beginners, we offer shopping tours in Jaipur and Delhi (and other cities) in India. If the timing is right, I can lead the tours, as I did with a wonderful group of ladies from the USA. We went to workshops where we learned about — and bought — authentic, top-quality saris and pashminas, and then went to a market that specializes in good quality women’s clothing.
We work with some exceptional guides in Jaipur, Delhi and other cities, too, who can guide you to some of the best places to shop.
On Shopping Tours, we can also take you to workshops and showrooms where they demonstrate crafts such a block printing and jewellery making.
Buyer:
If you are planning to buy anything costly such as rugs, jewellery, furniture, or pashmina shawls, please have the items authenticated before purchasing. Sadly, many fakes are sold to unsuspecting tourists who don’t know the difference.
