India's markets are historic, crowded and specialised: spice and jewellery lanes, antique bazaars, craft markets and Goa's seasonal flea and night markets. This guide groups them by city and links to every listing in our India Night Markets collection.
Indian bazaars rarely have fixed hours, and many shops close one day a week, so each listing says what to check.
