Laad Bazaar or Churi Bazaar is a market located in Hyderabad, India on one of the four main roads that branch out from the Charminar.
The bazaar's name, laad means lacquer, which is used to stud artificial diamonds onto bangles. This is fitting as in this 1-kilometre (0.62 mi)-long shopping strip, most of the shops sell bangles, saris, wedding related items, and imitation jewellery.
History
