Chikkapete, Bangalore

13 - 24 December 2008

Mumbai Bangalore

We took an overnight train 1,003km (668mi) south to Bangalore to be with my parents!! The day couldn't come sooner! I was so excited to be home. I was home at last.

Aunt P & I took N to Chikkapete, the heart of Bangalore. This area is where you can buy anything you can imagine in wholesale. I discovered this area when I went shopping for sarees, and got wedding invitations done. There is one whole street that is dedicated to the art of wedding cards and printing!! Narrow streets run around in a big maze. I liked the area a lot! And we had good fun. All following photos were taken by my hubby.

Because the streets can get very narrow, we had dad's driver drop us off at Majestic bustand and took an auto into the area.
