Established alongside the pristine Puri Beach, is a microcosm of Puri itself: the Swargadwar Market. A bustling hub of activity, its vibrant atmosphere, rows of colourful shops and tantalising street food make it a must-visit for travellers seeking an authentic taste of Odisha.
The market’s prime location right next to the beach ensures a constant flow of visitors. Tourists can seamlessly transition from sunbathing to shopping without missing a beat.
Swargadwar Market is a treasure trove of Odisha handlooms for textile enthusiasts. Choose from a wide range of handloom sarees and dress materials, each reflecting the rich cultural heritage of Odisha. The intricate weaves and vibrant colours are a feast for the eyes.
The market proudly displays Odisha’s exquisite handicrafts. Look out for Pattachithra paintings, known for their intricate detailing and mythological themes. Additionally, explore the captivating world of appliqué works, where fabric pieces are stitched together to create stunning designs.
As you wander through the market, your senses will be tantalised by the aroma of street food. From crispy pakoras to spicy chaats, Swargadwar Market offers a great choice of mouth-watering eats. Don’t miss the chance to savour local flavours.
Bargain for the best deals: Haggling is an art here. Bargain with the shopkeepers to score the best prices on your purchases.
Unique souvenirs: Besides textiles and handicrafts, keep an eye out for shell jewellery, beach-themed trinkets, and local spices. These make for memorable souvenirs.
