When I first started writing this blog, I was puzzled by Indore’s vibe of absoluteness. How could I define a place that encompasses the exclusivity, prestige, and splendour of India’s heritage and culture?
Indore not only boasts heritages, but it also has world-famous markets or bazaars. For shopaholics, this is the cherry on top. Indore may be a one-stop shop for all of your needs, including special occasion clothing, traditional and modern wears, souvenirs, jewelry, collectables, handcrafted art pieces, and wholesale electronics.
And how could this be finished without mentioning food? The list of street food is never-ending since you will discover something new at every corner of Indore’s streets. The mouth-watering famous meals are Bhutte ki kees, Batla Kachori, Poha, Chappan, Dahi vada, and Chaats, which you will remember for the rest of your life.
