Hi kools,
I have only been to one sunday bazaar in my whole life -- it was last year, in Ahmedabad, Gujarat... they call it 'ravivari' there ... but there was nothing exotic with oriental handicrafts like you mention...
rather it was more of a flea market for selling second hand goods and all sorts of knick knacks.
full of second hand jeans etc. Ravivari Definitely not meant for high-end shopping.
There were some people selling food on the pavement -- laddoos, samosas etc. but I would not eat that for reasons of hygiene.
I don't know who was buying chanda's laddoos, it had to be other people from the basti only -- because as an upper-middle class person, I would rather go to a proper halwai and have them make stuff in front of me -- than buy stuff made at home somewhere in the basti - quality of ingredients, hygiene and adulterated oil are all big concerns for me.
But it was cute, chanda had fancy boxes like they do at halwais 😆😆 or like Sridevi did in her role in English Vinglish.
