Hyd - Charminar shopping

Shamelessly copied from Hyderabad Times...

Shopping around Charminar:


1. Laad Bazaar

Founded by Ladli Begum, wife of 6th Nizam, home to about 500 shops with about 2500 craftsmen casting their workmanship around your wrist…Hyd is famous for stone studded lac bangles

2. Jumay-Raat Bazaar

Used to be the flea market where you can find the heirlooms of Nizams and is now notoriously called Chor bazaar of Hyderabad (jumma raat implies the night that precedes Friday)

3. Attar Ki Galli

Located on other side of Laad bazaar…sells traditional Hyd cosmetics…over 68 different fragrances ranging from agargarkhi kohna (distilled from a rare, fragrant made of Assamese wood) to Manoranjan (made of flower extracts like chameli, motiya)

4. Patel market

Faric, embroideries like Zardosi, gota and brocade work

5. Chidiya Bazaar

Next door to Patel market….chickens, parrots, pigeons, patridges, turkeys, love birds and also large number of crows.
