Jaipur: Johari Bazaar
The Vibe:The jewellers' street, and it has been for centuries.
The jewellery street of the walled city, where the trade has been concentrated since Jaipur was laid out in 1727. Gem cutting and setting still operate as working crafts in the lanes behind the shopfronts.
Shopfronts open directly onto a crowded street of trays, cases and unrolled cloth. Sweet shops and lassi counters break up the jewellery frontages.
