Ikat, Banarasi, Raw Silk & More: Mangaldas Market Is A Paradise For Fabric

Mangaldas market is the perfect go-to place for fabric shopping. Whether it is for making a lehenga or kurti, or even a dress, I am sure you'll find the perfect fabric. I've been to this place a couple of times before, but the current variety of fabric available at Mangaldas Market is just amazing! The easiest way to reach is by getting down at CST and taking a cab from there. The lanes are narrow and most of the vendors have fixed prices but you can give a try at bargaining. Plenty of shops have kalamkari, indigo {starting at INR 100/metre}, ajrak {starting at INR 200/meter}, ikat, raw silk, cotton silk, chanderi, Banarsi and Kutch: I can basically go on and on, the list is endless. The area is divided in lanes, so you are bound get a bit lost. Lane no. 02, 04 and 08 are the best. Most of the shops do not allow photography but I gathered as much as I could to give an idea. The market opens by 10am and closes by 8pm.

Carry cash for your purchase, very few places accept card/Paytm {but you need to buy worth minimum INR 2,000}.
