AMRITSARI BAZAAR

The Amritsari Bazaar that houses more than 50 outlets is a one- stop- shop for all your Punjabi handicraft­s needs. The bazaar’s décor grabs your attention as soon as you enter with its huge artistic ambience and with the traditiona­lly decorated halls that are laid out with jali, mirror and wood works that set the tone for a great day out for handicraft shopping. Spread out over 15,000 square feet, the bazaar located at the top floor of the Alpha One mall is a stark contrast from the rest of the mall that retails more urbane, trendy fashion wear and apparel. Head here to pick up home décor items or interestin­g made out in various traditiona­l styles such as phulkari, lacquered woodwork and traditiona­l jewellery styles. Punjabi jutis, hand- woven carpets and popular delicacies like papads and wadiyan are must buys here.
