Shopping
Spree in Johari Bazar:
» Hawa Mahal - The Famous Hawa Mahal, is one place to be in
for the entire day. The HoneyComb Jalis which pave way for the cool air
throughout the year are still an architectural marvel. Draped in red
color with the Red Stones, it is one of the best places to be in.
» Samode Haveli- Not very far away from the Johari Bazar is
the Samode Haveli. Once the Town house of the Prime Minister of Jaipur,
this place is now open for tourists to stay. With Luxurious rooms, its
one of the best places in the town to stay - if you want to have a tour
of the city.
Getting Dazzled by the precious stones is not a big thing in Johri
Bazar of the Pink City. Many get duped by there mearge or less knowledge
of the gems which are stones in actual terms. But then, the most
precious thing of the Johri Bazar is its Gold Jewelery and the
Silverware. These are the things which are in abundance here. Fancy
stores with Jewellery of Meenakari work, are lined up in the Johari
Bazar. Most of the shops will pack up the Jewellery and also deliver it
at your door step if you wish so, but its better to take it along - (The
Postal Prices are too high and there are chances of fraud at any point).
Lying outside the Hawa Mahal, the Johari Bazar is always filled with
local and non - local people.
