Shopping in Chennai
Chennai is renowned for its handlooms, both the exquisite Kancheepuram silk
sarees and the cottons used designed sarees, shirts and domestic furnishers.
The Co-optex showrooms offer a wide variety of both types of handlooms, whereas
the Khadi centres are better known for their cotton varieties. The several Nalli
shops, the Rasi showroom in Mylapore and other saree shops near Panagal Park
and Dhun Building (Anna Salai) specialise in the finest silks. Several boutiques
have exclusively designed more modern sarees.
Chennai is also a major handicrafts centre; the Government's Poompuhar specialising
in metal (Bronze) and stone work articles. The Victoria Technical Institute
has perhaps the widest variety of South Indian handicrafts. Anna Salai offers
comfortable shopping for all varieties of goods in western comfort, whereas
George Town offers the same variety in a bazaar atmosphere.
