WOW! The merchandise and glitter!
Laad Bazaar of Hyderabad is a very popular and centuries-old
market! A grand shopping centre for women! It is located adjacent to
Charminar along a kilometre-long road and in its bye-lanes. “Laad” in Urdu
means lacquer and the market got its name as Laad Bazaar because from ancient
times attractive bangles and other art and gift articles made of lacquer and
embedded with bits of colour glass, pearls, semi-precious gems and stones were
sold here.
Lacquer bangles are still sold here but the market is now mostly flooded with various jewellery - precious, semi-precious, imitation and fashion jewellery. There are countless shops selling such jewellery - bangles, bracelets, earrings, chains and necklaces and silverware, gold-embroidered sarees and fabrics, silk sarees, wedding dresses, all types of dresses for tiny tots to grown-ups, attractive handbags and slippers, perfumes, cosmetics and accessories like hair bands, clips, mehendi, henna and the list, in short, is all that women fancy!
