　　Dating from Tipu Sultan’s reign, this huge and very lively bazaar has local traders selling traditional items such as flower garlands, incense, spices and conical piles of kumkum (coloured powder used for bindi dots), all of which makes for some great photo ops. There's a large fruit and veg section on the western side, too. Gully Tours offers good guided walks here.
