According to Kalpaneshwari, 'The variety available here, is not in the market. I have bought cover bags made of Mangalgiri Cotton from here. I have tried to buy atleast one piece of every material according my budget. There is great variety of colourful dresses here which tempts me to buy. These things are different and traditional and not found in market. It is very convenient for us to get so much variety in such 'Bazaars'.
Ravnivas Pandey says 'The 'Kurtas' of Block hand print and natural colour are just wonderful. Mentioning speciality of these 'Kurtas' he says 'These 'Kurtas' are printed with natural colour which is done by hands. Along with this, the stitching work done on them conceals fat in the body. These Kurtas are from Gwalior and their price ranges from 500 to 1500 Rupees. There are Shirts and Short Kurtas of the similar material available in this market, too'.
Sunita says 'The sarees of Dabu print, Bagh print and Chanderi Handloom have always been favourite among ladies. All these are available here. These sarees are within one's budget. Other than this, Chik Curtains are available in beautiful colours and designs'.
