Kashi Textile Market

Kashi Textile Market: Cut Pieces Sorted by Length and Sarees From ₹40

Kashi Textile Market is on Begumwadi Ring Road, right next to Tirupati Textile Market (pin code 395002). It is physically linked with Shankar and Jagdamba markets, forming one large trading zone. It describes itself as a "working market" rather than a "name market": a place for value buyers, not designer labels.

Location and Access

• Surat Railway Station: about 2.2 km, roughly 9 minutes.
• Udhna Junction: about 3.5 km, roughly 12 minutes.
• Surat International Airport: about 15.3 km, roughly 34 minutes.

There is almost no dedicated parking and heavy bike traffic, so use an auto-rickshaw or public transport.

Layout

Floors 1 to 4 are packed with shops selling short lengths of printed and plain sarees, and ground-floor shops often specialise in dupattas. Expect to walk between levels through connecting gates. Corridors are not air-conditioned. Porters are available to carry bundles to your vehicle.

What the Market Sells

• Saree cut pieces, sorted by length: 2-metre cuts for dupattas, and 3–4 metre cuts for stitched sarees.
• Stitched cut sarees and cheap printed sarees, from about ₹40.
• Dress materials, kurtis and dupattas.
• "TP" (damaged) and "dagi" (flawed) pieces at heavy discounts.

Most stock is printed or plain second-quality goods. Fancy embroidery is rare.

Making the Most of Cut Pieces

Cut pieces suit specific uses, so buy for the end product:

• 2-metre cuts: dupattas, scarves and small garments.
• 3–4 metre cuts: stitched or ready-to-wear sarees, and kurtis or skirts.
• TP and dagi pieces: the cheapest stock, but check each piece. Some defects can be cut around, others cannot.

Buying in bulk gets much better rates. Measure a few pieces to confirm the stated lengths.
