A walk through the famous Chor Bazaar in Mumbai

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!
