Shopping in
Jodhpur is an exciting and rewarding experience for the
visitors. You'll be serenaded with intricately carved furniture,
bright colors, ethnic clothes, exquisite handicrafts and more.
The numerous bazaars, pavements stalls, handloom houses, etc add
color to the otherwise dull city of Rajasthan. Some of the most
popular shopping items of Rajasthan are: Bandhini (tie and dye
fabric), Footwear (mainly embroidered jutis), Utensils, Leather
items, Handicrafts, Textiles, Lac works and Bangles, Handlooms,
Spices, Antiques.
The Sardar Market, which is just off the main shopping area
called Nai Sadak, is a good place to buy local crafts and just
about anything else. Sarafa Bazaar is a haunt for silver
junkies. Most beautiful, exquisite traditional jewelry can be
found here. So, enhance your beauty with little accessories to
match with your ensemble. Jodhpur is equally famous for the
hand-dyed fabrics like bandhini and lahariya that are worn by
the locals and coveted by the tourists. These garments are
tie-dyed in small ornamentations or in wave-like strips on
cotton or silk.
Jodhpur footwear is famous throughout India. The catalogue of
Indian footwear is incomplete without the mention of Mojris of
Jodhpur, Rajasthan. Also known as Jodhpuri Jutis, this footwear
can help give a royal touch to your dresses. Jodhpur is an
antique lover's paradise. The Jodhpur antiques include textiles,
silver jewellery, pottery, carved ducks, metalwork, marble
figures, paintings, antiques, ivory, bed covers, wall hangings,
puppets, clothes, especially designed furniture, etc.
Jodhpur as a shopping destination gives the tourists an
opportunity to buy some exclusive stuff of Rajasthan. Tourists
will have an incomplete tour to the city if they return empty
handed. |
