Most shops in Bhopal are open 0930-2000, and are closed on Mondays. The two main shopping centres are:
The Chowk (which is lined by picturesque old havelis and mosques)
New Market
Mrignayani Emporium, 23 New Shopping centre and Handicrafts Emporium, Hamidia Road are two good places for souvenirs hunting and they also stock a good collection of local handicrafts. Women's Co-op Zari Centre, Pir Gate sells bags with some exquisite zari work (rich embroidery done with gold and silver thread) and chiffon sarees. MP State Emporium, GTB Complex, TT Nagar, specializes in chanderi saris and fabrics (combination of cotton and silk so sheer that the Emperor Aurangzeb insisted that his daughter wear seven layers of it!), as well as tussar and other raw silks.
