Mehandipur Balaji Market

Running along the approach to the temple, the Mehandipur Balaji Market stays open through the night to serve the constant flow of pilgrims. Vendors sell fixed-price arzi packets of urad dal, laddoo, and boiled rice for temple offerings, alongside religious images, rudraksha malas, and other devotional items. The market has no large retail chains, just small family-run stalls that have served the pilgrimage trade for generations, giving it a local, functional character rather than a curated shopping experience.
