Why Karigar Bazaar is trending in Pune
Searches for “Karigar Bazaar Pune” have shot up over the past week as Punekars look for handmade and sustainable gifts before Diwali. Buying directly from artisans means more of your money goes to the people who make the product, and many of the items are not available in regular shops or malls.
Tips for visiting
- Go on a weekday afternoon if you want to avoid the weekend crowd.
- Carry cash and UPI. Some small stalls may prefer one over the other.
- Ask about the craft. Most artisans are happy to explain how a piece is made, and it helps you judge quality.
- Check fabric and finishing before you buy, especially for handloom and natural dyes.
- Use a cab or auto. Parking around Bund Garden Road can be tight during the festive season.
