How can we end a tour without bringing home the exclusive items from the place to cherish till we visit next?
If you are looking for ideas and know-how of the things to buy on your Puri trip, here are some.
Sarees
You can find very good traditional sarees here. You can shop for Pasapalli, Bomkai, Sambalpuri, and Ikat varieties of sarees here. You can also find the stores of Nalli silk and other reputed brands, but if you are looking for the authentic Oria taste, you can go for these sarees. There are looms within the city and on the outskirts, so you can be assured of getting these clothing at a price cheaper than other cities.
Palm leaf painting
Pattachitra is an exclusive art form of Odisha. The art translates to painting on the leaf and usually, palm leaf is used as a canvas. You can bring home this painting for decorating your place or for gifting friends and family.
The pattachitra is also available in silver platings, just in case you are looking for expensive gift items.
Pearls
On your Puri trip, when you visit the Golden or Puri beach, keep your ears open for the vendors selling real pearls. (Even if you don’t they will reach you.) Do not go for the beaded pearls, they sell a bit far from the ocean. But seek the vendors who sell the pearls near the ocean. Sometimes, they even demonstrate pulling out the pearl from the mollusk. Those are real pearls, though not in perfect shapes.
Shopping is the most satisfying therapy. Isn’t it?
After a bag full of shopping, all we want is to sit back, relax and reach home as soon possible. If such is your situation, you can book intercity AC cab in Puri to travel back home comfortably.
