    The Night Markets sell a wide array of the famous mirrorwork clothing and textiles that Gujerat is famous for. Most of the wares are made in Rahn of Kutch area.The Bead & mirror-work is all done by hand, and is quite exquisite. Long,traditional skirts are a swirl of colour. The markets line the road, and were very busy while we were there. Bargaining is expected, and the prices that I paid were very reasonable.I bought my daughter a choli, which is a short, tight midriff length blouse- and she loved it.It is covered in tiny pieces of mirror.
    Food & Chai stalls were busy all night, and atmosphere was festive. We saw not one western tourist on the night we were there.

    Mirror-work articles of clothing
    -handbags
    -shawls.
    Emroidered & mirrored cushion covers

    Bargain- within reason. MUCH work goes into the making of these beautiful items.

  • generally there are not any specific places to shop around .you could move on cg road or go to the old part of the city after crossing the bridge near 3 gates, bhadra area. you will find many surprising bargains. We have many shopping centres and grocery stores. Some pointers about grocery stores:
    - The size of the store doesnýt matter, prices are same everywhere.

    Some of the well-known Super Markets are:
    - V.Ravjiýs - Vijay Cross Roads Itýs an excellent store, and you can get almost everything here.

    - AMPM near Judges bungalow, Vastrapur
