Chennai
has some places to offer for shopping. In fact Chennai is a Shopper's
delight. There are a lot of places and shops worth visiting. One
thing to be kept in mind is to try to bargain for prices at almost
all places. New plazas are springing up while traditional stores
are having themselves refurbished to attract more customers. Readymade
clothing including brands, art and crafts, contemporary and traditional
artwork, antiques, jewellery etc are easily available in the city.
Traditional items like Pattamara Mats and the leaf and palmyra-fiber
handicrafts from Tirunellveli, bronze and brass castings and traditional
jewelry from Kumbakonam, Metal works from Tanjavur, stone carvings
from Mamallapuram, Silks from Kanchipuram are all available in Chennai.
For conventional items and handicrafts, Government Emporiums offer
wide variety of choice at fixed rate. Victoria Technical Institute
at Anna Salaai offers handicrafts from all over the country. Central
Cottage Industries Emporium in Temple Towers Anna Salaai again offers
good stuff.
