Before purchasing, make sure to bargain with the shopkeepers because they generally quote higher price. Perhaps it could appear odd in a momentary look, but most of the stores make their customers sit on the floor that is carpeted from wall to wall. As the stores have limited space, they make such seating arrangement to ensure maximum room. Being located in a small lane that twigs from Charminar, Laad Bazaar can be visited on foot or by taking rickshaws available there.
