| Gadodia Market, which lies south of Khari Baoli,
is a spice wholesaler's storage area. The entrance is through
a covered arcade that directly takes visitors into a small courtyard
lined with storerooms with giant-sized old-fashioned weighing
scales. Built by Seth Lakshmi Narayan Gadodia in the early 20th
century, the place is so busy during the peak market hours that
it is nearly impossible to reach the open square area. |
|
| Here you can see laborers with their long barrows
struggle with loading and unloading the sacks of spices. However,
one must make it a point to visit it to see various types and
qualities of items like turmeric, reetha nuts, ginger, saffron,
lotus seeds, pickles, chutneys and edible leaves of silver paper
used to coat sweets and cakes. |
