Chinnakadai Street Bazaar
சின்னக்கடை வீதி
The old town's shopping street just outside Rockfort's southern gate, lined with silk saree shops, gold jewellery stores, spice vendors and jasmine garland stalls, full of local street life.
Chinnakadai Street, together with neighbouring NSB Road and Big Bazaar Street, forms the busiest commercial district of Trichy's old town, right outside the entrance to Rockfort. Both sides are lined with long-established saree and silk shops, goldsmiths, copperware and spice stores, and small stalls selling jasmine garlands. In the evening, after coming down from Rockfort, it is a perfect place to browse and snack. The streets are narrow, with people and vehicles mixed together, so keep an eye on your belongings. Bargaining is the norm, and some shops close on Sundays.
