Jaipur: Tripolia Bazaar
The Vibe:Lac bangles, made in the lane behind.
Running west from the walled city centre beneath the Tripolia Gate, this bazaar is known for lac bangles, ironware and brass. The workshops making the bangles sit in the lanes immediately behind the shopfronts.
Bangles rattle in stacked trays along narrow frontages. Behind them, lac is warmed over small flames and worked by hand.
