Jaipur is not just about Hawa Mahal and Amer Fort, it is also about colour on your wrist. If you walk through the Pink City, you will hear the sound of chudis before you see them.

If you are planning bangle shopping in Jaipur in 2026, this guide covers 5 bazaars, what to buy, and the hidden lanes where real artisans work.
Jaipur Bangle Market Guide 2026
Here are the best markets in Jaipur where you can find beautiful bangles and much more.
1. Nehru Bazaar: Best for Budget and Everyday Bangles
You can buy daily-wear lac bangles, glass bangles, and plastic party-wear sets here. Not only beautiful bangles, you will find them in cheapest rates in Jaipur and full stacks are easily available in Rs 100-200. Look for the lane joining Nehru Bazar to Badi Chaupad, where you will find small shops selling unpolished lac bangles at wholesale price.
2. Johari Bazaar: Best for Bridal and Designer Bangles
Johari Bazaar is best for finding bridal churas, stone-studded lac bangles, polki and Kundan style bangle sets and much more. Shops here sell designer lac bangles matched with bridal lehengas. At Maniharo Ki Gali in the market, you will find a real artisan lane where they make the bangles you see in Johari showrooms. This is slightly more expensive than other markets.
3. Bapu Bazaar: Best for Trendy and Fashion Bangles
At Bapu Bazaar, you will find trendy oxidised silver bangles, fabric bangles, boho-chic sets along with the most special Jaipuri lac with mirror work. This is the best spot for tourists, which is also Instagram-friendly.
4. Tripolia Bazaar: Best for Traditional and Antique Lac Bangles
At Tripolia Bazaar, you can find pure traditional Jaipuri lac bangles, old-style lakh ki chudiyan, ivory-like white and red bridal sets. There are also some antique shops here, where you can experience the true heritage and culture of the Pink City. Artisans here sit with a charcoal fire (angithi), heating lac rods and twisting them right in front of you.
5. Chandpole Bazaar: Best for Handmade and Wholesale Bangles
Chandpole Bazaar is the best for finding raw lac bangles, unfinished sets, tribal-style bangles, and lac bangles with lacquer painting. This is a wholesale hub, less touristy, where you will also see families making bangles for generations.
Jaipur's bangles are not just accessories, they are stories made of lac, colour and fire. Whether you want a Rs 100 stack daily wear or a custom-made set, each market has its own identity in the Pink City.
