Pondicherry is a shopper’s paradise. Shopping at Pondicherry is very cheap compared to other places as the government follows the low taxing structure on all commodities. It is also known for its traditional doll-making and textiles and silks. But it is also the birthplace of several world class brands in leather, pottery, stylish garment, refinished French and British colonial furniture and handmade paper. These excellent products came to renown solely by their superb quality. A new trend is the development of refined decor boutiques and export-quality antique furniture galleries.
Traditional handicrafts like semi-precious stones, stone carvings, bronze icons, brass figurines, wooden sculptures, jewelers and silver ware, hand woven carpets, candles, marbled silks and aromatherapy products at very competitive prices.
