The Great Indian Bazaar
India's bazaars and emporiums sell a staggering range of goodies: from woodwork to
silks, chunky tribal jewellery to finely embroidered shawls, sparkling gemstones to
rustic village handicrafts. The array of arts and handicrafts is vast, with every region
- sometimes every village - having its own traditions, some of them ancient. Get ready
to encounter - and bring home - some spectacular items. India's shopping opportun-
ities are as inspiring and multifarious as the country itself.
Be cautious when buying items that include international delivery, and avoid being led to shops by
smooth-talking touts, but don't worry about too much else - except your luggage space!
