If you have been paying attention, with this post, I have now shared round the clock market shopping opportunities for you to explore in my Indian home away from home. As the name implies, the address is the garden and nearby Law College. It began about 40 years ago, when a poor man from the country set up to sell trinkets from his village to provide for his family. Ah…another entrepreneur! More sellers came, as did tourists and food vendors. Now it is a popular spot for tourists and Indians alike. 
The city improved the garden, discouraged unquestionable people and practices in order to provide for a family friendly atmosphere. There are even camel rides available for the children. Ahmadabad provided services and tidied up the area to encourage business. Hmm, big debate in New York as I type, Governor Cuomo wants to encourage new businesses with lower taxes and services…. worked well for the people of Ahmedabad. “Build it and they will come” happens in real life and not just in films.
Law Garden night market has all the sparkly things people think of as Indian and are sold in the US from the kiosks in the malls…bags, jewelry, tunics, scarves, and shawls. Many have the tiny mirrors sewn into the material. Everything is sold through bargaining and if you like it …have a blast. I always feel sorry and think they need the money to feed their children. I don’t bargain well!
These are items showing the artisans’ work in Kutch which is a nearby village. The economy is pheasants making and selling crafts. We didn’t go there, but got the flavor with a trip to the Law Garden.
