Proximity to the sea and a happening beach may be what it’s best known for, but Besant Nagar’s otherwise posh streets can also be a haven for the thrifty shopper. Try on some dainty, fashionable-looking and fairly comfortable footwear, or browse through metres of cheap cotton handloom and mill material, dramatic ikats and striped Mangalagiri fabrics. College students particularly love the area for the many gypsy beads stalls that dot the roads –wildly colourful, differently-shaped beads strung together in bohemian neckpieces, funky earrings and customisable bracelets.
