Shopping in Chennai

If you’ve stepped foot into what could only be called a well-loved and known commercial hub in the south, be ready to have your mind blown when you see what it has to offer. Chennai is a dynamite city; they wake early and the bustle in the street almost never stops. Shopping in Chennai can be described the same way.  

The local shops here feature some of the classic, traditional products like the Pattamara mats and metal work from Thanjavur; stone carvings from Mamallapuram; bronze, leaf handicrafts from Tirunelveli, and silks from Kanchipuram to large, well-equipped malls that feature both global and domestic brands. Shopping in Chennai is never a bore. Yes, it is also an established cotton, silk and gold hub so if you're in the mood for any of these, they have something that will suit whatever price range you have.  

Like in every other city in India, besides the unique local handicrafts, Chennai also has street shops that sell beautiful prints, materials, jewellery and readymade outfits. You can also make a pit stop at Nalli's and Pothys which are Chennai's favourite shopping centers for some beautiful, high quality Indian wear that has endless options. After walking the streets and shopping to your hearts content, you can treat yourself to the lip-smacking snacks and food joints you will find here. Shopping in Chennai will instantly make you feel like you're part of the city and is a great way to remember it, long after you leave.
