Malls, markets, and retail spots in Udaipur
Bada Bazaar
The oldest market in Udaipur and a one-stop destination for everything Rajasthani, from gold and silver jewellery to Bandhani sarees, leather goods, and ethnic clothing. Located near the City Palace within the old city, its winding lanes are filled with shops and roadside stalls selling a wide range of local crafts, including Pichwai paintings and camel leather bags. The energetic atmosphere and proximity to the ghats make it a natural stop on any old city walk.
Bapu Bazaar
A lively everyday market in Udaipur's old city, named after Mahatma Gandhi and located about 1.8 km from the City Palace. Unlike the craft-focused markets near the palace, Bapu Bazaar caters to daily life, with shops selling Bandhani sarees, khadi products, footwear, books, crockery, and gadgets side by side. It is also one of the best spots in the city for street food, particularly the famous gol gappas. Closed on Sundays.
Hathi Pol Bazaar
One of Udaipur's most iconic street markets, named after the Hathi Pol or Elephant Gate through which royal elephants once entered the City Palace. Located near the palace complex, the bazaar is the go-to spot for Pichwai and Phad paintings, miniature art, Bandhani and Leheriya fabrics, silver jewellery, embroidered juttis, and traditional Rajasthani home decor. Frequented by locals as much as tourists, it offers fairer prices than most markets in the city.
Maldas Street
A narrow lane in the Bohrwadi area of Udaipur's old city, popular with locals for affordable ethnic and occasion wear. The street is packed with shops selling unstitched fabric, costume jewellery, lehengas, party wear, and a wide range of traditional Rajasthani garments at prices well below the tourist markets. Fabric-based souvenirs such as leather-bound diaries and hand-crafted puppets are also easy to find here. Open daily except Sundays.
Rajasthali Government Emporium
Udaipur's only government-run handicraft store, operated by the Rajasthan State Industries Corporation since 1961 and located on City Palace Road. Unlike street bazaars, all prices here are fixed, making it a reliable option for quality-conscious shoppers. The emporium stocks a wide range of authentic Rajasthani crafts including blue pottery, marble ware, terracotta, brass ware, Pichwai paintings, silver jewellery, textiles, and furniture, all sourced directly from state-supported artisans.
