Introduction
Historical market renowned for its exquisite collection of traditional jewellery, particularly Kundan, Meenakari, and Polki designs. The market, which is a kaleidoscope of colours and intricate designs, offers a glimpse into Rajasthan's rich cultural heritage. Apart from jewellery, Johari Bazaar is also known for its selection of textiles, including Bandhani and Leheriya sarees. The bustling streets lined with shops and vendors create a vibrant atmosphere that is quintessentially Jaipur.
What To Buy
Johari Bazaar is known for its traditional Rajasthani jewellery, particularly Kundan, Meenakari, and Polki pieces. You can also find a range of gemstones, including emeralds, diamonds, and sapphires, often set in elaborate designs. In addition, the market is popular for Bandhani sarees, Leheriya fabrics, and other traditional Rajasthani textiles.
Beyond Shopping
While Johari Bazaar is primarily focused on shopping, there are a few local eateries where you can grab a quick bite. Try out Laxmi Mishthan Bhandar (LMB) for some traditional Rajasthani sweets like Ghewar and snacks like Kachori. There are no dedicated entertainment options, but the surrounding area is rich in historical landmarks like the Hawa Mahal, which can be explored before or after shopping.
How To Navigate
Johari Bazaar is a linear market with a single main street lined with shops on both sides. The shops are small and often packed, so moving through the bazaar requires patience. The market does not have multiple floors or designated shopping zones, but jewellery stores are predominantly clustered towards the central part of the bazaar. No assistance services or maps are available, so it is recommended to take your time and explore at your own pace.
Timings
Johari Bazaar is open from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM. It is partially closed on Sundays and Tuesdays.
