It’s festive season, and the people’s desire to shop just doesn’t seem to stop! To get a true feel of the typical Indian shopping atmosphere, the bazaars are where you need to be. These aren’t any shopping complexes in huge buildings. Instead, they are wide spread in large areas with variable items being sold along different outlets. They sell goods in a more traditional fashion contrary to the modern practices followed in malls. A market gives you a cheerful vibe in its own way.
Our country boasts of many such markets that are popular all across the globe. Some of them are the Chandini Chowk and the Sarojini Nagar Market in Delhi, the Chor Bazaar in Mumbai, the New market in Kolkata and the Begum Bazaar in Hyderabad.
But not many know that we Vizagites too have our own market that is worth talking about; the Purna Market.
Purna Market has been a hot spot marking its versatile nature in offering a variable range of products at reasonable prices.
The place is a hub of wholesalers and prices here are unmatched in the entire city. So, it’s no surprise that merchants and buyers from nearby districts as well come to Purna Market every month to buy the goods in bulk.
