Dakshinapan Shopping Complex

A few days back I visited Dakshinapan in Gariahat for buying some regional sarees. I had a mixed bag of experiences, offering both enjoyable moments and a few drawbacks which I would like to share with you all Pros: Great Hangout Spot: The place is ideal for spending quality time with friends and family. Cultural Variety: There are a diverse range of shops offering regional handicrafts and products from different states. Lively Atmosphere: The vibrant ambiance adds to the overall experience, making it a delightful place to visit. Cons: High Prices: In my opinion regional products are significantly overpriced. For example: Ajrakh print modal silk saree costs 7,500 rupees, whereas it’s usually available for 4,000 to 5,000 rupees. Muga silk saree from Assam is priced at 75,000 rupees, which is far beyond typical expectations. While Dakshinapan is a great destination for a day out with loved ones and for appreciating regional crafts, it may not be the best place for purchasing items if you’re on a budget. The prices are quite high, so consider visiting primarily for the experience rather than for shopping. Hope this helps :)

One of the best shopping complex in south kolkata. Wide range of clothes accessories available at an affordable price. Cafes and eateries are there too. Many state shops are also present here. The complex is spacious and open.

An excellent place for Indian Handicrafts and Handloom and Jewellery.Every state has it's own emporium. Mrignayani (M P state emporium) is the best place for shopping. Love there Dokra handicrafts collection.

Very nice place for shopping & window shopping too. All the state emporiums are under one roof has given us the opportunity to buy sari/ dress/ special product of a particular state from here.

I visit this place since my childhood. It's got everything needed and it's great to just hangout with friends plus it's got some really good stores to shop from and to click pictures

Very good place to do the saree shopping. There are variety of options to select and all range of sarees and ladies wear.

Dakshinapan is one of the oldest shopping complexes in Kolkata. It started even before the mall culture was introduced to the Indian subcontinent. There are clothing shops from almost all the major states of India. There are few budget clothing shops like Tant Ghar.

One of the finest plácè for authentîc ethnic indigenous and indo-western clothes, household items at reasonable price. Apart from various stores the roof top garden is very refreshing. Nice place to spend some quality time with friends and loved one$. ✌🏻
