While exploring island city of Mumbai let me take you to one of the most famous place with an infamous name. You must be puzzled what I am talking about. Actually through this article I am taking you on a tour to Chor Bazaar of Mumbai. Please do not hesitate as this is not any sort of illegal market. Just the name seems to be unfriendly. This popular Chor Bazaar is located close to the Bhendi Bazaar in Southern Mumbai. You can imagine this place as one of the big flea market. This is indeed an interesting place is also a tourist spot of Mumbai. The meaning of Chor Bazaar in Hindi language is ‘thief market’. Initially the market was supposed to be called Shor Bazaar which means a noisy market but due to inability of British in pronunciation they misspelled it like Chor Bazaar and that is why till the time this Noisy Market has become Chor Bazaar. Due to its mispronunciation this place was misunderstood by some groups of sellers and thus somehow stolen things from city and other places have taken place in the shops here and sold here. Some people even jokingly say that if anything of yours is stolen or missed in the city of Mumbai you may find it in Chor Bazaar. This joke is not always true as this place sells most of the second hand things but it does not mean that they are stolen.The Chor market has two sections. One is Minimarket while the other is known as Juma Market. at Mini Market one can find old movie posters and other items related to bollywood while in Juma Market things like furniture, hardware, various tools, etc. are sold at a low price. The market sees good crowd and enthusiastic buyers look for antiques as well as vintage articles here.The goods you can look out for in this organised flea market are as follows:
- Antique items
- Old bollywood posters
- Victorian furniture
- Parts of automobiles
- Automobile springs
- Barbells
- Vintage goods
- Brassware items
- Electronic goods
- Hardware items
- Tools
- Fashion accessories
- Footwear
- Bronze articles
- Cane furniture
- Books
- Gadgets
- Kitchenware
Just like other flea markets this place also has the strong rule of bargaining. The better you are at bargaining, the better deal you get here. You get here lots of options but it is like a bit of hard work to find what you want as you have to look through from a heap of articles to find exactly what you want.AddressChor Bazaar,Near Bhendi Bazaar,South Mumbai, MaharashtraTimings of Chor BazaarFrom 11.00 am to 7.30 pmOpening daysThe market is open on all days except Fridays.AccessibilityIt is easy to reach here from any part of city using taxi, auto rickshaw or state buses.Nearest railheadGrant RoadClose by attractionsBandra, Linking Road, the Mumbai MintRUCHI MAHAJANзайм на карту без отказов круглосуточновзять кредит онлайн
