Diwali is not just a festival, it is altogether an extravaganza for weeks to celebrate lights, truth, honesty, colours, sweets, gifts and many such things! All these things calls for one major task which is SHOPPING. Although each sector in Chandigarh has its own market but then there are some special ones that are visited by people from as far as Mohali, Panchkula, Zirakpur etc. Some markets see huge rush as compared to others.
We all are very lucky to have so many markets in Chandigarh and that too with a blend of everything. We, here at Chandigarh Metro went across the city to witness the rush and here’s a list of 10 markets that saw the maximum crowd.
-
Sector 22
This sector’s market is most crowded in all of Chandigarh. You will always find all beautiful girls, gorgeous ladies or even handsome men shopping in Sector 22 for Diwali. It’s not just the Shastri Market that is most crowded but vendors sitting on the footpath in main market and near Kiran Cinema see huge rush. Another good thing about this area is that the prices are very competitive. One reason why Sector 22 sees a huge rush during Diwali festive days is because it is the oldest sector of Chandigarh. It also has a jewellery market that is too crowded during festive days.

Sector 19
Sector 19 has is one sector that sees maximum amount of footfall. It has many footwear shops as well as crockery stores. Street vendors in Sector 19 line up the entire footpath and sell almost every item related to Diwali. Decoration item stalls, gift shops also see a huge crowd. The market faces some serious parking problems. Huge rush was also witnessed at clock shops towards Palika Bazaar as people treat clocks as a good gift item for Diwali.

Sector 17
No wonder, why this sector is called heart of city beautiful. The most famous central shopping area, needs no description why it sees the crowd. Sector 17 amazes us everytime on Diwali with its huge bulged rush in its showrooms. Artificial jewelry stalls, roadside bangles, food stalls and everything you need to shop for Diwali is there at Sector 17. Perfect thing about “Staaara Di Market” is “It has both expensive as well as budgeted shopping options”. Probably most famous through songs and media, this sector has lavish brands and restaurants of all kinds.

WEll, Sector 34 is famous for coaching institutes but what made sector 34 crowded this Diwali was the inner market of this sector. With eatable shops and the grand furniture market, Sector 34 finds a place in the most crowded sectors of Chandigarh during Diwali festive days.

Sector 26
With a lot of wholesale shops that sell dryfruits, Sector 26 is yet another place that saw a huge crowd during Diwali days.

Sector 20
This market though most famous for its laptops and accessories market has two parts one is the main market on the road when one comes from Sec-32 hospital road and one is the inner market which has authentic quality blankets and all decoration items for Diwali. Sector 20 again makes it to our list of most crowded sector in Chandigarh on the eve of Diwali.

Last but not the least on our list is Manimajra market. We bet you cannot simply drive through the market during festive days. The rush in the market speaks for itself.
