Bapu Bazaar

Developed as part of the planned market network of Jaipur's walled city following its founding in 1727, this street became the designated center for textiles, leather goods, and everyday household wares as trade guilds settled along its length. It was later renamed in honor of Mahatma Gandhi ('Bapu'), reflecting a mid-20th-century trend of renaming public spaces after the independence leader. Today it remains best known for bandhani tie-dye textiles, Sanganeri block prints, and traditional Rajasthani mojari footwear and lac-bangle work produced by artisan families for generations.
