Jaipur: Sireh Deori Bazaar
The Vibe:The street under the Palace of Winds.
The bazaar running directly beneath Hawa Mahal in the walled city, trading in textiles, handicraft and souvenirs. Its position makes it the most visitor-facing of Jaipur's old-city markets.
Stalls press up against the pink façade above with barely a pause between them. It is the noisiest and most insistent stretch of the walled city.
