AHMEDABAD SHOPPING |
| |
Ahmedabad is the only place in the world where himroo is still practiced, a millennia-old brocade-weaving craft that combines silk and cotton yarn into an almost satinlike fabric. Weavers spend around 2 to 3 months working on a single sari, even longer on more intricate and detailed designs. A custom-woven sari featuring a design based on one of the Ajanta murals takes a year to produce and costs about Rs 90,000 ($2,100) -- which makes a beautiful himroo shawl with gold-plated silver thread for Rs 2,300 ($53) seem a real bargain. Head for Paithani Silk Weaving Centre, 54 P1 Town Center, behind Indian Airlines Booking Office, opposite M.G.M. College.
Ahmedabad is also famous for its Mashru and Kimkhab weaves. The fabulous Paithani sarees tempt most women, and so do the wide range of semi precious stones available in rough, polished and jewellery form. Agate in particular is available in a variety of forms and sizes. Bidri ware, and old coins dating back to the Mughal period are also available.
One thing we can assure you is that you wouldn't go back from Ahmedabad, disappointed as far as shopping is concerned. There are a number of items that you can shop for in the city.
The Paithani sarees seen at the shopping places in the city are a hot favorite amongst women shoppers. You can also shop for jewelry and semi-precious stones in Ahmedabad. |
