Shops and premises
Vindhya Valley outletsJabalpur and Narmadapuram
Mahua products, forest honey, chironji, amla and tikhur
The state's forest-produce brand; the plainest way to buy mahua and chironji without a middleman chain.
Tribes India (TRIFED)Jabalpur and Bhopal
Pardhan Gond painting, Baiga godna-derived work, bamboo and metal
Buys from artisan groups directly. Prices are higher than a village purchase and lower than a gallery, which is roughly where the honest number sits.

Carved dolomitic limestone figures, bowls and lamps
A cluster rather than a shop, working stone from the gorge below them.

Khoya jalebi, sold warm by weight
Several old shops in the same few lanes; the jalebi is dense and fudge-like rather than crisp.
