Dakshinapan Shopping Centre in south Kolkata is the place to shop for authentic handloom textiles and handicrafts from across India. Its concrete arcades house state-government emporiums selling regional saris, fabrics, jewellery, leather, home decor and crafts at fixed, fair prices. Less frenetic than the street bazaars, it is a favourite with those seeking quality Indian textiles and gifts, and the on-site food stalls make it easy to pause between browsing.
