Devaraja Market
Dating from Tipu Sultan’s reign, the spellbinding Devaraja Market is a lively bazaar that combines both the ancient and Indian faces of India. International brands compete for space here with local traders selling traditional items such as flower garlands, spices and conical piles of kumkum (coloured powder used for bindi dots), and their unique co-existence makes for some great photo-ops. Refresh your bargaining skills before shopping!

C
Government Silk Factory
It’s the best place to shop for Mysore silk, given that the exclusive fabric is made at this very place and thus comes at its cheapest. Behind the showroom is the factory, where you can drop by between 7.30am and 4pm to see how the fabric is made. There’s also a factory showroom on KR Circle, open from 10.30am to 7.30pm, barring Sundays.
