Udaipur : Mochiwada Bazaar
Operating Hours:Monday - Sunday: 10:30 - 20:00
The Vibe:The cobblers' quarter, still making shoes.
The name comes from mochi, the cobblers whose trade defined this quarter. Leather footwear is still the speciality, with mojari and jutti made and sold in the same narrow lanes.
Leather and dye carry through lanes barely wide enough for two people. Shoes hang in rows from every frontage, stacked to head height.
- Named for the mochi cobbler community whose trade continues here
- Traditional mojari and jutti are the market's speciality
- Prices are considerably below the tourist-facing shops nearer the lake
- Bargaining is standard practice
Fit For
- 🌍 Culture travellers: "A working craft quarter rather than a shopping street."
- 💕 Couples: "A short detour off the main bazaar circuit."
- 🧳 Solo: "Quick, cheap and easy to fold into an Old City walk."
Highlights
- Mojari and jutti footwear, made and sold in the same lanes
- Leather goods beyond footwear — bags, belts and small items
- Prices well below the tourist shops nearer the lake
- Cobblers working at the frontage rather than behind closed doors
- Made-to-measure orders, which some shops complete within a day or two — Hidden Gem
