Mahatma Jyotiba Phule Market (Crawford Market) in Mumbai — view 2

Mahatma Jyotiba Phule Market, commonly known as Crawford Market, is a historic wholesale market established in the late 19th century, originally designed by the British architect William Emerson. The building features a striking Indo-Saracenic style with a clock tower and vaulted ceilings, housing everything from fresh produce to spices and textiles amidst a lively atmosphere. Visit in the early morning when vendors are setting up, as the market is busiest then and the scents and colours are most vibrant. It lies in the bustling Kala Ghoda district, close to other attractions like the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus and the nearby art galleries. Be mindful of pickpockets in the crowded areas.
