Jaipur Shopping - The handcrafted items of Jaipur have earned a name
for itself all over the world. The production and marketing
of these handicrafts were one of the primary concerns
for the builders of the Pink City which led them to
make provisions for ample space for the purpose. An
entire street apart from several city sectors was reserved
for the artisans and the traders. The main markets in
Jaipur are along Jauhari Bazar, Bapu Bazar, Nehru Bazar,
Chaura Rasta, Tripoli Bazar and M.I Road. Shopping in
Jaipur is truly a memorable experience and the shopaholics
have to keep coming back to this veritable shopping

Jaipur has carved a niche for itself in the world market
in the manufacturing of jewellery. Jaipur is renowned
for its precious and semi-precious stones. The cutting,
polishing and setting of these stones along with diamonds,
topaz and emeralds is done in an exquisite way in Jaipur.
The brass work of Jaipur is unparalleled and the brass
workers of Jaipur are absolutely adept at what they
do. The Jaipur Minakari, done mostly on gold and silver
has an appeal of its own. Not only the purity of the
color but also the finesse of the artisans are perceptible
