A
Pakistan Handicrafts
The otherwise disappointing Pakistan Handicrafts sometimes has some standout handicrafts from Cholistan at affordable prices. Cholistani handicrafts include chungirs (bread plates made from date palm leaves), rillis (allpurpose cotton patchwork blankets), falasis (weavings of camel hair and cotton, used as carpets, wall hangings, etc), embroidered dupattas (long scarves), kurtas (long shirts with either short or no collars) and khalitis (ladies' embroidered purses).

Hussain Agahi & Chowk Bazaars
At the base of the fort mound is the sprawling bazaar and old town, connected to the rest of the town by seven medieval gates. The main markets are the Hussain Agahi & Chowk Bazaars, flanked by antique wooden merchant houses and echoing Multan's former importance as a trade centre. Sells, among other things, some good traditional handicrafts. Bargain hard.
