Shopping |
Mumbai's streets, corners and pavements are lined with shops and virtually
anything you want is available in parts of its famous bazaars and markets. The
main areas for bargain clothes are around Colaba Causeway and Fashion Street,
which stretches along the Cross and Azad Maidans. More trendy and costly
shopping is found at Breach Candy and Kemps Corner, down the hill from the
Hanging Gardens.

Chor Bazaar is an antique-hunter's delight, while
nearby Zaveri Bazaar is famous for its diamond, gold and silver jewellery. The
shopping arcades of almost all five-star hotels such as the Oberoi and the Taj
Mahal offer a good variety of up-market shops. In central and suburban Mumbai,
the Dadar, Bandra-Linking Road, and Juhu Road areas are good spots to shop.

Chor Bazaar |
Chor Bazaar is commonly known as thieves' market, a name coined
by the British but perhaps mistakenly. It is also thought that the original
name was shor Bazaar(Noisy Market) which aptly described the yelling and
shouting of the local traders on Mutton Street while selling therir second hand
house hold goods.Today, it is a hustling bustling market selling an electic
range of new and old furniture and bric-a-brac.The traders,whose families have
been in this business for generations, scour the countryside buying goods to
sell in the market.
You must visit Chor Bazaar. Here are some of our favourite shops
but rummage as many as you can as you never know what you may find - a
treasure, a bargain or just what you need. Take a taxi or bus to Maulana
Shaukat Ali Road and set off down Mutton Street.
