Johari Bazaar & Bapu Bazaar
जौहरी बाज़ार / बापू बाज़ार
The most representative market of the old Pink City. Johari Bazaar sells jewellery and gemstones, while Bapu Bazaar offers saris, handmade shoes and tie-dyed and block-printed fabrics.
Johari Bazaar ('jewellers' market') is lined on both sides with arcaded shops that share a uniform pink facade. It is famous for gold and silver jewellery, gemstones and traditional Rajasthani jewellery, and the street is also home to LMB, a century-old sweet shop. Next door, Bapu Bazaar specializes in textiles, handmade leather shoes (mojari), tie-dye and wood-block printed fabrics, and its prices are more affordable. Most shops open from about 11:00 to 21:00, and some close on Sundays. Always bargain when shopping. For gemstones, buy with caution and ask for a certificate.
