    Another reasonable option for silk shopping, with similar prices to Mehrotra Silk Factory.

    Janpath Market

    Lucknow is famous for the delicately embroidered muslin cloth known as chikan, which is worn by men and women. It is sold in the small but relatively traffic-free Janpath Market. Also in this market is the sweet-smelling Sugandhco, a century-old family business that sells attar - pure essence oil extracted from flowers by a traditional method.

    Ganga Silk

    Varanasi is justifiably famous for silk brocades and beautiful Benares saris. A good place to start is this small shop above the Bread of Life Bakery. Prices are fixed and the staff can explain the different types of silk.
