Apart from being an architectural delight the walled city is also famous for its various products and one of them is cloth market. So if you are interested in fabric from Gujarat then head to the markets in Dhalgarwad, Teen Darwaza area, Sindhi Market and Rani no Haziro area which are cloth heaven of the city. This apart, they sell other knick knacks as well which make a great souvenir for the tourists.
Rani no Haziro is the Gujarati translation of the Queen's tomb where women members of the royal family were buried. Today Rani no Haziro is a market for women's clothing and accessories.
Teen Darwaza, one of the longest and the oldest gateways of the city, is another architectural wonder, comprising of intricately carved arched gates. It is believed that Mughal emperor Jahangir used to come here along with his beloved wife Noorjahan, to take a look at the procession that started from this grand gateway and went non stop till Jama Masjid.
Today the area within this beautiful structure boasts of a market selling everything from fabric to traditional artefacts and handicrafts. The structure is truly an epitome of fine Islamic architecture with semi circular windows beautifully decorated using mesh.
