City Market is huge but it mostly sells fresh products like fruit, vegetables and flowers. For Karnataka specialties there is an abundance of handicraft shops in and around MG Road and the Commercial Street area. Karnataka specialties are silk, carvings of sandalwood and rosewood and Lambani tribal jewelry, and to a lesser extent soapstone sculpture and brass.
Mysore Saree Udyog at 294 Kamaraj Road (just off Commercial Street) is famous for silks in the Commercial Street area, and its equivalent in the MG Road area is
Deepam Silk Emporium.
More general handicraft stores are
Central Cottage Industries Emporium, 144 MG Road and
Fabindia in Commercial Street.
Most shops and particularly the handicraft shops open late and close late with no absolute set times but 1000-1100 to 2000-2100 are common.
