Duration: 15 minutes
Stop At:
The busy Tripolia bazaar ends at Maniharon ka Raasta, the portion of the street that still holds a close connection to the regality of the past. The extension of the market is due to the shyness of citizens. Maniharon Ka Raasta majorly deals with lac bangles of all kinds. The entire market is visited by women due to it being known for the bangles only and the bangles are decorated with precious to semi-precious stones, beads, crystal,s and other embellishments. The craftsmen who make the lac bangles are believed to have arrived from Manoharpur in Uttar Pradesh at the invitation of the then Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh. The Muslim Manihari women handle the shops here and also are involved in creating the lac bangles using all kinds of embellishments.

Jaipur's most acclaimed landmark was built in 1799 to enable the ladies of the royal household to watch street processions while remaining in a strict state of purdah. Its 5-story facade, decked with no less than 593 finely screened windows and balconies, makes the building seem far larger than it really is; Though the primary source of its appeal is undoubtedly the fantastic honeycomb pink and white face.

Wedding fabrics, dresses, and sherwanis hanging at the entrance of the market, If we can ignore its suffocating entry points, Purohit Ji Ka Katla, by far is one of the most wonderful shopping destinations for wedding shoppers in the Pink City! After so many years, still holds its traditional market charm, Majority of the buyers seen here are the locals and rural people from nearby areas of Jaipur, as tourists could never really reach THIS market of the walled city. A wholesale market hidden within the Johri Bazaar is the shopping hub for the cheapest goods, hence the people from villages nearby come here to shop for products in bulk.
