Mangaldas Market building No 1

Mangaldas Market, established in eighteen ninety-three, is a sprawling indoor textile hub characterized by its labyrinth of nine narrow lanes packed with over one hundred small, traditional shops. Unlike open-air street markets, this space is contained within a historic building, where shopkeepers traditionally sit on mattress seating known as gaddas to display their inventory of silks, cottons, and embroidery.
