Rajasthani sarees in the Pink City
Jaipur's saree shopping revolves around colour. Bandhani is tie-dye, where tiny knots resist the dye to form dots. Leheriya makes diagonal wave stripes. Block printing, associated with the Sanganer and Bagru areas near the city, stamps patterns on cotton with carved wooden blocks.
The walled city's bazaars run along straight, wide streets with arcades. Shops sit shoulder to shoulder, so you can compare a saree in several stores within minutes. The mix leans towards festive and casual wear more than heavy bridal silk.

The Pink City bazaars are laid out on a grid, which makes them easy to cover on foot. Start from one gate and work your way across.
Timing Shops tend to open late morning and stay busy into the evening. The heat in summer is strong, so go earlier or later in the day.
Getting there Autos and cabs drop at the city gates. Walk inside, as vehicles move slowly.
Key things to know
Real or imitation
Printed Bandhani look-alikes are common. Look for the tiny knotted dots in a real piece.
Bargaining
Prices in the bazaars are often negotiable. Compare before you settle.
Cotton in summer
Block print cotton suits Jaipur's heat and is easy to wash.
