Besides the temples, shopping is one the major mainstays of the city. Take a tour of Jammu with a special shopping agenda on the mind and as you walk through the markets in the city the shopping list becomes wider and the pocket narrower. Suddenly, you want to lap it all up - Pashmina shawls, Jamawar shawls, dry fruits, special spices, precious stones and saffron. Jammu is a shopper's paradise. Pashmina is synonymous with the state, you touch it to feel the softness of a feather, a look at it will reveal the colours of a rainbow. Pashmina shawls not only reveal the magic of craftsmanship but stand as a testimony to the rich heritage and culture of the state. Jammu is also one of the most preferred markets as far as basmati rice, rajma, aampapar (dried and candied mango peel), anardana (dried pomegranate seeds) and dry fruits like walnuts, almonds, dry apricots are concerned. The main market places like Raghunath bazaar and Hari bazaar are famous for Kashmiri handicrafts, traditional Dogra jewellery and dry fruits.
