You'll find the city's major shopping
centers along and around M.G. Road, Commercial Street,
and Brigade Road. M.G. Road is where you'll find the fixed-price
tourist-orientated (no bargains or bargaining) Cauvery
Arts and Crafts Emporium, Central Cottage Industries Emporium,
and Karnataka State Silk Industries Emporium. Fabulous
silks and home textiles, as well as contemporary silverware
from Neemrana and traditional silver jewelry from Amrapali
and Jaipur, are some of the highlights available in Shop
Ananya, located next to the Hotel Sarovar at 9/1 Dhondusa
Annexe, Richmond Circle (tel. 080/2299-8922).
For antiques and other collectibles in bronze, stone,
teak, and silver, call on:
Natesan's Antiqarts (76 M.G. Rd.; tel. 080/2558-8344 or
-7427). Pick up beautiful ethnic home accessories, rugs,
and other gifts at The Bombay Store (99 EGK Prestige,
M.G. Rd.; tel. 080/2532-0014 or -0015). With four levels
of saris and salwar kameez (for women) and sherwanis (for
men), and a nonstop clientele, you can understand why
staff at Deepam Silk International insist that there is
"nowhere else in the whole world" better to
shop for silk garments (67 Bluemoon Complex, M.G. Rd.;
tel. 080/2558-8760).
