Udaipur : Kashmir House
Operating Hours:Monday - Sunday: 09:00 - 21:00
The Vibe:Pashmina and embroidery, brought south.
Kashmiri traders have long kept showrooms in Rajasthan's tourist cities, selling pashmina, embroidery and carpets far from where they are made. This one sits near Chandpole on the western approach to the lake.
Shawls are unfolded one after another across a low counter, stacked until the whole surface is covered. The rooms are quiet and the pace deliberately unhurried.
- Specialises in pashmina shawls and Kashmiri embroidery rather than Rajasthani craft
- Stock is sourced from Kashmir rather than made locally
- Open late, until around 21:00
- Reviews are mixed, with quality and after-sales service both raised
Fit For
- 💕 Couples: "An unhurried browse, away from the bazaar crush."
- 👵 Seniors: "Seated, air-conditioned and calm."
- 💼 Business: "A single showroom for a significant gift purchase."
Highlights
- Pashmina shawls, the showroom's principal trade
- Kashmiri embroidery work — sozni and aari on shawls and fabric
- Late opening, when the bazaars have closed
- Seated, air-conditioned browsing rather than lane-side shopping
- Stock that is genuinely not Rajasthani, so it complements the bazaars — Hidden Gem
- Comparing prices against a second Kashmiri showroom before committing, which the city has several of
- Asking to see the burn test or ring test for pashmina, which reputable sellers will demonstrate
- The showroom sits near Chandpole on the western approach to Lake Pichola
- Reachable by autorickshaw directly, unlike the deeper bazaar lanes
- Open late, so it suits an evening visit after the bazaars close
- No gate or ticket — walk-in showroom
