दुकानें और बाज़ार
Athangudi tile workshopsAthangudi
Handmade cement tiles cast face-down on glass
Several family units in and around the village. Ordering is by design and quantity, and a floor is usually quoted with a lead time of weeks because the curing cannot be hurried.
Muneeswaran Koil Street antiques marketKaraikudi
Architectural salvage — teak columns, doors, brass, Belgian mirror glass
Worth knowing what you are buying. Much of the stock comes out of mansions that were demolished because the timber was worth more than the building.

Heavy cotton Kandangi sarees on pit looms
Buy from the weavers' societies if you want the coarse traditional width rather than a lightened export version.

Sun-dried Ramnad Mundu chilli
A round, thick-skinned, mild chilli sold whole. The season runs from the end of the northeast monsoon.
