Crawford Market


Diwali shopping in Mumbai demands a visit to Crawford Market at least once. It is located in South Mumbai, to the north of Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, and has now been renamed Mahatma Jyotiba Phule Mandi, although the former name is more widely used.

It is renowned for housing fruits, sweets, veggies, and dry fruits, making it the ideal location to get the boxes of candy you need to give to your loved ones. In addition, the market contains other items including women's clothing and toys for kids.

Kandil Galli


Four days before the start of Mumbai's 10-day Diwali holiday, this LJ road lane (also known as the ‘Kawli Wadi Street’) between Mahim and Matunga, next to the Citylight Cinema, is prepared with stalls and lantern collections. Ask anyone in the area about Kandil Galli, Mumbai, and they will quickly point you in the direction of this vibrant lantern market in Mumbai. Please be aware that the Hindi words for lane - ‘gully’ and ‘galli’ both mean the same thing. There is another alley nearby named ‘Kadri Wadi’, which is famed for creating lanterns and is solely dedicated to the production of enormous Kandil.

Irla Market


This market, which is in Vile Parle, is charming in its own right. Although it is a small market, you can easily find all of your Diwali essentials here at extremely affordable prices. Because of its location in the western suburbs, it is simple for everyone who lives there to go grocery shopping.

If you want to spend your Diwali in Mumbai, or if you’d just like to visit on a shopping spree, do not forget to check-in at The Retreat Hotel and Convention Centre, Madh Island, Mumbai.
