Jewelry souvenir shop in red fort, New Delhi, India

Through the Lahori Gate entrance, and after crossing the courtyard from where you can get a close look of the tricolour hoisted at the top, you`ll be lead to a massive, arched walkway that is Meena Bazaar. The market is full of shops that sell handicrafts made by artisans from across the country. You`ll find stuff like kutchwork bags, juttis, pashmina shawls, costume jewellery, wall-mounted plates, crockery, and so much more. The stuff here is priced so low, you`ll be tempted to keep shopping. The juttis here super-padded and comfortable, I tried a pair start at INR 200, which has to be some kind of record. The bags start at INR 250 and shawls at INR 300 the synthetic kind, the pure wool kind are priced higher, naturally and both come in such beautiful patterns, you`ll be spoilt for choice. But what I really took a liking for were the decorative pieces made out of marble. Some of them had beautiful stones, such as mother of pearl, rose quartz, and more. I loved the tiny elephant-family sets, but the jewellery boxes were really pretty as well. Those started at about INR 200.
