Popular market for textiles, traditional Rajasthani clothing, bedsheets, quilts, and jootis (traditional footwear).
Bapu Bazaar is one of Jaipur's most popular markets, known for its wide range of textiles and traditional Rajasthani clothing. Located in the heart of the Pink City, the market is named after Mahatma Gandhi (affectionately called Bapu) and runs parallel to Johari Bazaar.
The market is famous for its collection of colorful textiles, including Bandhani (tie-dye) and Sanganeri block prints, which are traditional Rajasthani specialties. Shoppers can find a variety of items including sarees, dress materials, bedsheets, quilts, and the famous Jaipuri razai (a type of quilt).
Another highlight of Bapu Bazaar is its collection of jootis, the traditional Rajasthani footwear known for their vibrant colors and intricate embroidery. The market also offers a range of handicrafts, blue pottery, and souvenirs at reasonable prices.
The market is housed in buildings with the characteristic pink facades of Jaipur, and the narrow lanes are always bustling with activity. Bapu Bazaar offers an authentic shopping experience and is a great place to pick up souvenirs and gifts.
