Basati Bazaar, Ludhiana
Basati Bazaar, a small square of about 30 shops, is women shopper’s paradise. The bazaar is located in the heart of the city. One can approach it either from Chaura Bazaar side or from Sarafa Bazaar. Women can spend the whole day window-shopping or buying knick-knacks like ‘bindis.’ and you would probably think buying ‘bindis’ is an easy task. Think again. There is so much of mind-boggling variety in various shapes and sizes, colour and craftsmanship of the bindis — and in the price range too — that a customer can spend the whole day looking at bindis only.
Can you imagine the bazaar has been in existence for over a century? Of course, the changes have crept in. There used to be a well in the middle of the square. It is covered now. Eatery stalls satiate the appetite of women shoppers with chole bhature, gol-gappas, tikki chat. A lot of N.R.Is visit this market and are thrilled with the variety of things offered by the shopkeepers. The ladies from neighbouring districts like Moga, Batala, Faridkot and Jagraon also visit this market for shopping.
Since 2004.
