Since Bikaner never fails to surprise you with unique items in its markets, the place may also be referred to as a shopper’s paradise. The city’s local markets offer some excellent opportunities to pick up products made from camel hide as well as wooden antiques, clothing, jewellery and various art objects. Carpets are especially popular, with locally woven wool used in their creation. Lacquer Bangles, beaded and sequined gorbandhs, cotton fabrics with sanganeri prints, Mojari (Bikaneri style), Kundan work, wooden antiques, Nokha Quilts (known for lightweight and good insulation) are also a must buy. Also try local sweets such as Bikaneri bhujia and sweetmeats. Major areas congenial for shopping are located around Kote Gate and Junagarh Fort.
