What's happening in
For shoppers looking for authentic Gujarati textiles, intricate embroidery, festive Chaniya Cholis, traditional jewelry, and budget-friendly apparel, Ahmedabad offers a vibrant street shopping landscape. While modern luxury malls provide branded retail, Ahmedabad’s open-air markets and historical bazaars deliver an authentic shopping experience steeped in rich craftsmanship and lively street culture.
The most famous evening shopping destination in the city is the Law Garden Night Market in Ellisbridge. As dusk falls, colorful stalls line the road adjacent to Law Garden, showcasing embroidered Chaniya Cholis, mirror-work jackets, Bandhani and Leheriya dupattas, handcrafted wall hangings, brass artifacts, and oxidized silver jewelry. It is the premier spot for locals and tourists alike to assemble their Navratri outfits and find authentic Gujarati souvenirs. Bargaining is part of the experience, and combining your shopping with a plate of spicy kani vada or pav bhaji from the nearby food street makes for a classic evening.
For serious wholesale and traditional ethnic shopping, Dhalgarwad Market in the Old City is unmatched. Located near Teen Darwaja, this maze of covered lanes has supplied generations of Amdavadis with wedding sarees, unstitched cotton dress materials, pure silk Patola replicas, and Bandhej fabrics at direct-from-artisan prices. Navigating the narrow alleys on foot allows you to discover family-owned shops that have specialized in handloom textiles for decades.
Lal Darwaja Market is another bustling, high-volume open-air bazaar popular for everyday casual wear, shoes, belts, children's clothing, and household goods at affordable prices. Meanwhile, modern street-style shopping hubs along CG Road and the boutiques of Bodakdev cater to those seeking contemporary fusion wear, designer kurtis, and modern silver jewelry.
