Colours Of Jaipur , Shopping At Bapu Bazar.

Jaipur is a shopper’s paradise. Its markets and bazaars are full of exotic and modern goods. Whenever we visit Jaipur there are always a load of things to be bought and our favorite destination is Bapu Bazaar. Bapu Bazaar is a famous market near the Johori Bazaar in the old city. The shops here are full of Bandhani /bandhez / tie and die dress material, sarees, bed sheets, cushion covers, bead spreads, curtains, shirts, kurtas, long skirts, jewellery – real and artifical etc. Even the footpaths are full of trinket sellers – lakh bangles, keychains, bindis, handicrafts ... ladies surely have a gala time shopping here.

Jaipur is also famous for its many varities of chatpata digestive chooran golis …. My personal favourities are the delicious anardana (pomogranate seed) and imli (tamarind) golis, these too can be bought at Bapu Bazaar.

One thing that hits you first when you enter any shop in Bapu Bazaar is the riot of colors … all the colors in the rainbow … and may be many more. Royal Rajasthan is truly a colorful state.
