1. Handipura
When talking about Jaipur kite markets, let’s start the list with Rajasthan’s wholesale market for kites. This famous Handipura kite market in Jaipur is located at Jagannath Shah ka Rasta in Ramganj Bazaar, near Badi Chaupad, Jaipur. It is the epicenter of Rajasthan for both kite makers and sellers.
This interesting kite market in the walled city of Jaipur has a series of shops running on both sides of the narrow lane. What’s more interesting is that these shops are run by Muslim families since years. However, the kites are mostly bought in Jaipur from Moradabad, Aligarh, Bareilly and Rampur in Uttar Pradesh.
Handipura is a paradise for all kite lovers and is famous for its kites and great quality Manjha. You will get all types of kites, manjhas and charkhis here on wholesale prices.
