Held on Saturday afternoons on the edge of the Shonajhuri forest, this market is a riot of colors!! Clothes and Sarees; Accessories (and being made to order right there by artisans); handicraft items and so much more and prices which is maybe half or even less from the cities. One feels bad to even bargain because the asking price is so low :-). And not to miss the Santhal dance groups, whom you can join and dance to your hears content to the beautiful rhythm.

What an amazing place to walk through !! Marigolds were in abundance throughout the market al ready to be woven into beautiful displays for the forthcoming celebrations on Republic Day. I felt guilty admiring all the flowers and getting in the way of workes going about their business and others trying to deliver chai to the sellers. A great colourful experience !!

This is my personal favourite in shantiniketan. The open air market commences every Saturday evening in the forests of sonajhuri trees. The place is charming, and together with folk dance performance and the handmade art and crafts sold by the local santhal tribes add to the vibe of this place. But again, we went in the wrong time of the year, poush mela season, when I could barely find any space to park my car. There was too much crowd with some families playing loud songs in their picnic and destroying the ecosystem of the place. However, I don’t want to underrate this place as I have witnessed it’s serenity during normal days.

Want a watch that costs an arm and a leg? Or a Fountain Pen? The Quest Mall is for you. And better still, if you visit in December, as we did, most of the International Brand stores offer some amazing deals. We got a 2 for 2 deal on the world's favourite pair ( that's my opinion!) of Jeans. Spend time here and you'd discover the best of Bishra Bangla - hope I spelled that right - and Fab India, which is a shop we always visit when in India. of course all the most luxurious international brands are represented here. We didn't spend much time here, because we knew what we wanted and where to find them at Quest, but I'd imagine you could make a day's outing here should your purse be able to handle the stress! Special shout out to the William Penn shop. It's not anywhere you can buy a good old fashion Fountain Pen, or a Quill Pen, or things that people tend to want, as opposed to need!

Have seen this Mall to grow up from scratch as my Dad was a part of it during its construction phase... However, lots have changed over the years... Now, the mall has expanded and has almost all the outlets of big brands of merchandise products... It is a major location for outing for people of Siliguri...
