Jaipur Bazaar

Dad wanted to go to a jeweler he knew in Jaipur. The only thing he remembered was it was next to LMB (luxmi sweet shop). Our guide Jai found it after recognizing the jeweler’s name. This market/bazaar is MAD. So many people, so many shops, so many cars/bikes/bicycles/rickshaws. And so much dirt and dust. I now see why so many people have scarves to cover their face.

You can walk five yards and find another shop selling the same wares. If your looking for a sari and don’t find it at the first, walk out the door and just go to the next. So many shops to choose from. Its an amazing place but be careful. Crossing the street is an adventure in it’s own.
