Bhuleshwar market is home to a ton of homegrown businesses that have been there for decades. (By decades, think back to the time photographers were still shooting grainy black-and-white photos). It houses the only Sun Temple in Mumbai, the biggest animal shelter, and a 150-year-old Shiva temple. It’s funny how a place this historic, moulds and remoulds itself all year to provide the public with everything they need for the festive season.

Even though it can be overwhelming, confusing, and a little too crazy, we love a good hardcore market. That’s why we figured it out for you! Read on to learn where to get what at Bhuleshwar Market.

Timings: The market is open from 8 AM to 9 PM; some shops are closed on Sundays.

How To Reach: The closest train stations are Marine Lines (western line) and CSMT (central line), from where it's a 10 to 12 minute taxi drive to Bhuleshwar market.

We don’t wanna harp on about stores being there since the days of yore, but these shops have been around so long, they’re landmarks of their own. Shyam Sakhi has lovely dhoti pants, jackets, blouses and skirts for men and women.

Dhwani Collection

Dhwani is one of those Bhuleshwar market shops where you gotta take your shoes off before you enter, and then park yourself on the mattresses while they show you a myriad of options when it comes to garba clothes. It’s a great place to head to if you want something specific, and don’t want to scour the entirety of the market.

Sheetal Arts

Walking into Bhuleshwar market Mumbai, we saw a window on the first floor of an old building which had those straight-out-of-Kora-Kendra, mirror-studded skirts, blouses and jackets pinned to it. Curious, we walked to the building and found a whole store that was as bustle-y as the market, a floor below it.

Price: INR 300 onwards

Rajwadi Chuda

This is the kind of store that attracts us like moths to a flame. It's one of those Bhuleshwar market shops that's basically got ALL kinds of bangles. And chudas, including the ones that are wrapped in colourful fabric! We have a soft corner for the ones with small sequins (even though they can be a little scratchy). It's not what we'd call cheap, but it's pretty reasonable.

Price: INR 199 onwards
