Bowbazar

  • Address: Near College St., parallel to Chittaranjan Ave. and bounded by Mahatma Gandhi Rd. and Vivekananda Rd., Calcutta Medical College, and Presidency College, North Calcutta, Calcutta, West Bengal

Fodor's Review:

East of Chitpur Road is Bowbazar, Calcutta's jewelry district, is where you'll find a terrific collection of good-quality gold and silver plus beautifully designed and crafted stone settings. Prices are reasonable, and each shop has an astrologer to help you find the most auspicious stone for your stars.
