Shops here are traditional and have been selling bangles, offerings silk trinkets. The lane is interspersed with tiny toy shops, a few of which specialize in small wooden toys and others where local artisans sell their wares.

There are sweet shops and lots of places in the area where you can get typical Baranasi food so people who get hungry after shopping don’t have to go too far.
