Chor Bazaar is one of the largest flea markets in the world where
one can anything from dumb-bells to auto springs, from movie posters to
musical instruments. Originally called 'Shor Bazaar' for the noise
levels, it came to be called Chor Bazaar (Thieves Market) after the
British mispronounced the name. Chor Bazaar deals mainly in second hand
items of all sizes and shapes, although legend has it that if anyone
has anything stolen in Mumbai one can find it at Chor Bazaar.
Located in the Bhuleshwar area of Mumbai, the Chor Bazaar is a
bargainers paradise, heaven for do-it-yourselfers, antique collectors
dream and fun place to visit just for kicks. Open 6 days a week (except Friday),
Chor Bazaar has gained fame through top novels (such as Rohinton
Mistry's Such a Long Journey) and has become a must-see place for anyone
visting mumbai.Here is a photolog of this fascinating Bazaar that amazes tourists, and locals alike!
