Shopping is certainly a favorite pastime in this pulsating city. And the choices are mindboggling – from textiles, handicrafts, jewelry to tea and other sundry food items, shopping here can be a great cultural immersion. Visit the sari and gold jewelry filled stores in Gariahat or visit the Dakshinapan Shopping Center for Pan-Indian handicrafts and textiles or stop by at any of the luxury shopping malls that now dot the city. Go to New Market, the oldest and most famous market of Kolkata for plainly anything you may want to purchase. #souvenirs #markets #shopping
