The area
Neighbourhood: Royapettah
Another busy neighbourhood that is a center of trade and commercial related sctivities is the famous and popular Royapettah. Apart from being known for its many tourist attractions, Royapettah is a favourite shopping and entertainment check in for all budget travelers. Popular for shops selling home fabrics, traditional sweets, furniture and house décor, it can be quite a delight for all those looking at packing in a range of quick shopping on a busy touristy day. For those seeking to take a break from a shopping agenda, visit the magnificent 150-year old Amir Mahal – one of the largest palaces in the city or chill at Amethyst, a nostalgically posh haven that's outrageously popular with expats and well-off Chennaiites for its creative menu and beautiful range of artefacts and jewellery.

A proper old fashioned shopping street rather than an awful Air conditioned Mall!
So many curious shops & very organised & clean.

You get almost everything , You just need the will to venture into this crowded street. It's definitely pocket friendly. I would prefer to go to other locations and buy these items rather than getting stuck in this crowd.

If you need A-Z of anything for your family, just hit Ranganathan Street.... Saravana stores, Ratna Stores, Jayachandran textiles....from jewellery to household to durables to daily needs... you have it all...
Street vendors on the road selling day to day requirements, fruit juices to tea, coffee... Have a day to spare to visit all these outlets... More than one million people travel in and out of this Street everyday...
Festive times... The crowd will carry you through the street for a km and drop you to the end... So better watch your stuff you carry.... Shop till you drop...at the only Street.... Ranganathan Street....!!!

T Nagar is the heart of the city, like what Dadar is to Mumbai. One can roam for hours through the narrow streets and find so many shops selling such beautiful items that one will think of buying them all. One needs to bargain hard but the quality of the products is good.

We went to shop few things. which included Tamil Traditional clothes, visited a large store Pothys, Which housed every thing we sought. days later I wanted to backpack and went to neighbouring store called Saravana.
Both the places, were extremely cheap, choice was wide and Staff behaviour was very good.

Hi, please anyone can tell me when is best time to do shopping in Chennai? (Best offer/sale)

Usually there is discount sales in the month of July & August 2018. In Tamil Nadu, the Tamil month Adi (= Ashada) is considered to be inauspicious and people dont tend to do much shopping. The shopkeepers give heavy discounts to promote sales during this period. The next big sales with heavy discounts are 'end of season' sales, where the shopkeepers tend to dispose old stocks and make new inventries.

Hi there, I am a woman traveling alone. I'd love to walk through this market and check out jewelry and scarves. Last time I only got to see emporiums for tourists. Is T Nagar safe for me alone on a Sunday? Candidly crowds scare me a bit although I truly enjoyed all of my experiences around Chennai and the temples and sights last time, but I was not traveling alone. thanks :)

Hi Philamb,
It is safe. Keep your personal belongings protected. Do not use your mobile phone while walking. Do not get distracted by any one. Best time 1100 to 1800 hrs.
