The jewellers' bazaar of the Pink City — gemstones, kundan and meenakari work, traded here since the city was founded in 1727.

Watch outJaipur's gem scam is among the most persistent in India: a friendly stranger explains you can buy stones tax-free and resell them abroad at a profit. There is no such market. Buy only from a shop with a government certificate, only what you want to keep, and never as an investment.

2. Bapu Bazaar and Nehru Bazaar
