Appreciate the arts: Discover Calico Museum’s glorious textile collection, pick up a chaniya-choli at the night market, and go gift-shopping at Garvi Gurjari.
This museum boasts a fine collection of textiles from around the world and some even dating back five hundred years. Everything here is handcrafted, including the double-ikat cloth, which is composed of one hundred thousand threads, all of which are individually dyed before weaving.
Spanning three floors, this state-run store stocks beautiful, traditional crafts such as painted metal jewellery boxes, silk and handloom cotton saris, and traditional designs. This is also the perfect destination from which to pick up souvenirs and gifts.
Packed with glittering trinkets and exquisite handicrafts from Kutch and Saurashtra, the market comes to life in the evenings. From jewellery to embroidered wall hangings, intricately worked garments, there is a world of things to choose from.
