As you walk in the streets of General Bazaar, you’ll come across many carts selling plastic cars, animal toys, toy guns, kitchen sets, doctor sets, and more. For a wider selection, you can also check out Arihant Toy Shop, a hole-in-the-wall store, which is rather hard to spot unless you’re specifically looking for it. The entrance to the place is pretty dingy, but once you’re in it, it’s a world of toys, racked up tight.

Half a kilometer inside the main lane of General Bazar are street stalls that sell upholstery and home furnishings like single bedsheets, bed sheet sets, cushion covers, and blankets in floral patterns. If you’re buying a good quantity, a little negotiation will get you a good deal. The quality is decent, and you can choose from many colors to find the trendy pastels.

Tucked away on the main roads of General Bazar is Kathiawar Stores, where you can stock up on your favorite lipstick shades and blushes. It’s a big store where you can shop for Maybelline, Lakme, L'Oréal, PAC, Sugar, Colorbar, Kay, Revlon, Chambor, etc. This was also the only store in Hyderabad where we found the popular, full coverage Kryolan concealer.
