It’s a walk through Mumbai's famous Thieves Market – Chor in Hindi means thief and bazaar means market.
Chor Bazaar is a chaotic street flanked by numerous antique shops, where anything, varying from old ship parts, grandfather clocks, gramophones, old English tea sets to crystal chandeliers, could bargain your interest.
What's more, you can forage for Ming vases and Muranos as well. Besides the above mentioned items, you can also trace antiques like hardware, tools, wooden carvings, brassware, statues, figures, silver coins, engines, old timepiece, jewelry, etc in the bustling area. In case you happen to be an antiquarian or restorer, then you are moving for just the right place. Victorian furniture can also be found here, that too, authentic one, which would definitely add grace to your rooms. While buying things from Chor Bazaar, keep 'bargaining' as the keyword in your mind.
if you don’t want to shop, this walk can still be fun. Apart from Chor Bazaar, the walk will take us to several places of general interest.
You’ll see Gol Deoul, (the circular Shiva temple) and get an insight of the Holy Structure and also You’ll visit the ever exciting and super noisy Null Bazaar (vegetable market). You will also get a chance to see the famous energetic and ever busy ‘kirana’ or the food grains market where each day tons of grains are purchased and sold!
