Beautiful Batik and Bandhni prints are available all across the shops in the city. Buy the prints of your choice and tailor yourself a customised dress. Besides dresses, the fabrics can also be used for curtains and pillow covers.

Ladies, look out for the traditional sarees with embroidered borders and mirror works. I would suggest you purchase at least one saree for yourself. These sarees render another perspective and vibe to the culture of Udaipur.

Well, jewellery is probably the favourite thing to shop in Udaipur for women. The wide variety of jewellery will surely stun you! The authentic heritage jewellery of Rajasthan is full of royalty and glamour. You can choose to buy anything from Kundan, Polki, Meenakari, and Chokers. 

If you prefer light jewellery then I would suggest you opt for boho pieces of jewellery. You can easily pair up the silver pieces of jewellery and create a fusion look all by yourself. You can spend as little as INR 100 to a hefty amount for purchasing these pieces of jewellery in Udaipur. 

5. Get yourself a customised diary

The diaries are gorgeous and available in all shades of colours. You can also opt to purchase the leather diary and engrave your name on it. These diaries are also great when you want to gift someone you love.

6. Collect colourful footwear

In Udaipur, the colourful footwear known as the jootis or mojadis is adored by all the travellers, especially women. They are just perfect for adding oomph to your outfit. If you want an Indo-Western look, these footwears are ideal!

The jootis or mojadis are usually made of silk or denim on the outside. It is decorated with intricately embroidered sequin works, beads, and mirrors. However, the inner material of these shoes is made of leather, making the shoe extremely comfortable to walk in. Comfort with style and royalty is a solid reason for purchasing a pair of these shoes! You can also gift them to your shoe lover friends. I bet they will love to have one of the beauties.
