    A good window is early morning right after sunrise the stalls are still opening and the crowd is thinner. If you’re looking for textiles, the narrow lanes near the main entrance usually have the most authentic hand loom cotton and silk stalls, while the spice stalls cluster around the corner that faces the bazaar square. Walking from Hawa Mahal takes about 15 20 minutes, so you can start there, grab a chai, and then stroll to the market before the afternoon rush. If you prefer a quieter time, late afternoon after the main shops close is also lighter, but you’ll miss the morning freshness of the spices.
