Shopping for clothes is serious business in India. Try taking a stroll in one of the more famous local textile markets or bazaars in India on a Saturday and you’ll know that this isn’t a task for the faint of heart.
Lanes upon lanes of little shops snake through the labyrinth markets in all directions, crowded by women with hands full of shopping bags and buying appetites still not satiated; and shelves overflowing with fabrics of every type, every print and every color imaginable.
This photo was taken on one such Saturday afternoon in one of the many almost-identical stores in a New Delhi market, unwillingly having to brave the mad rush.

The crowds are inseparable from the popular markets – but if you like shopping for fabrics, you’ll love it here – the variety is insane! Different regions have their own specialties.

Is this a sari shop?

Close but it’s a textile shop 🙂 – you know, the kind where you buy metres of unstitched fabric and get it stitched on your own?

Oh cool! The patterns looked kind of like sari patterns so I was wondering 🙂
