Shopping in Amritsar \u2013 Traditional and Trendy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Amritsar\u2019s bustling bazaars, such as Hall Bazaar and Katra Jaimal Singh Market, are perfect for shopping enthusiasts. From intricately designed Phulkari dupattas and juttis to authentic Punjabi spices and souvenirs, these markets offer a blend of tradition and modernity at affordable prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>6.
