Stalls of jewellery displays in rows!! these stalls were stacked with women and i had a tough time getting a decent picture.. without any of the clamouring customers heads popping in between.

Flower vases and artificial flowers on.. ready for the home decor...

A shoe stall.. couldn't believe the variety he had in such a small place, jutis, chappals, sandals, kolhapuris, jaipuris, oshos and the list is endless.

Finally we bargained the best price for a set of kullars (my friend was obsessed about buying them and was damn exited that shell be having tea in a kullar the next day)...I already had a list of items to buy in mind and left with a plan to visit again and shop some more....
