Lad is a word meaning 'indulgence'. Indeed, there is no better place in the city for the lady to indulge herself. The colorful Lad Bazaar lies on the right of Charminar, in the Old City. One of the oldest shopping centres in the city, the Lad Bazaar is an amazing mix of the ancient and the modern - an embodiment of Hyderabad. It's shops offer an assortment of henna, bridal wear and cosmetics. But the real draw is the exquisite range of lac and glass bangles, the pride and joy of the women of
Hyderabad. |
