Khandesh · Deccan Inland Plateau
Shops and premises
The Jalgaon gold lanesJalgaon
Gold retail, drawing buyers from across northern Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh
The town's nickname as a suvarna nagari is a trade fact rather than a tourism slogan; buying is by weight and making charge, and rates are posted.
Savda and Raver banana marketsSavda and Raver, Jalgaon district
Banana, sold by the bunch and loaded for rail
Working produce markets. Best seen early, and best understood alongside the ripening chambers and the Bhusawal freight yard they feed.
Gandhi TeerthJalgaonsince 2012
A research museum and archive on Gandhi, with a working library
Endowed by the Jain family; unusually substantial for a district town and open to visitors.
Kurdai and papad self-help groupsJalgaon and Dhule districts
Wheat-starch kurdai and lentil papad, made in the pre-monsoon months
Bought directly at the source rather than through a shop, and the closest thing the region has to a craft purchase.
Sarangkheda horse marketSarangkheda, Nandurbar district
Marwari and Kathiawari horses, in December
A trading fair with a temple attached, not a staged festival, though it is now promoted as one.
The Ajanta approach at FardapurFardapur, on the Jalgaon–Aurangabad road
The shuttle point and the craft and stone-carving stalls at the T-junction
Private vehicles stop here; only the shuttle buses continue to the gorge. Budget the transfer time into any day trip from Jalgaon.
Famous shops, markets and workshops in Khandesh, and what each is known for. (7)
