Jodhpur's vibrant bazaars are among the city's key sights, particularly Sadar Bazaar and the Girdikot Bazaar, near the clock tower. Wandering among the tiny shops dotting narrow lanes in the heart of town, you'll get a real feel for the life and color of Marwar. Jewelry, underwear, steel utensils, kitchenware, leather shoes, trinkets, wedding clothes—they're all sold here. Local spice merchants deal in saffron and other spices from all over India. Beware of tourist markups and young men guiding you to their "uncle's store." There are also plenty of stores to shop in if you don't like haggling in bazaars—most notably the government-run emporium.
