Browse Chennai Textile Markets by Area

Chennai's wholesale cloth trade is in George Town: Godown Street, where shop owners from across Tamil Nadu buy fabric, sarees and veshti, and Sowcarpet, an old trading area where many traders from Gujarat and Rajasthan settled. T Nagar is the city's biggest retail area, with silk and wedding sarees on Ranganathan Street and clothes on Pondy Bazaar; Purasawalkam in North Chennai also sells clothing and sarees. Most shops open all week, about 10 AM to 9 PM.

T Nagar is very crowded before Diwali and Pongal and in the wedding season, so go on weekday mornings. Ask for the Silk Mark on pure silk. Kanchipuram is an easy day trip.
