The awaited Durga Puja festivities are less than a month away and citizens of West Bengal are already gearing up for the celebrations. Part of such celebrations includes purchasing new clothes and flaunting them on the four major days of the festival.

Since new clothes are a staple for Bengali households during this time, Barbet lists five popular places in Greater Kolkata that can be the ultimate destination for shopaholics:

New Market

The hustle and bustle in the Esplanade area is something that the majority of the Calcuttans have faced. New Market, located at Esplanade, is a shopping destination for peeps who have a tight budget, but still want to flaunt their style.

Gariahat

Be it sarees or dresses, Gariahat is a one-stop-destination for South Calcuttans to shop before pujo arrives. The collection of clothes is so diverse in this area that both quality and quantity of attire are on point even if they are purchased from the hawkers on the footpath.

Hatibagan

Coming to North Kolkata, nothing beats the crazy ambience created by pujo shoppers in Hatibagan. The best time to visit is during the afternoon (1 pm to 3 pm) to beat the rush and grab items at a cheap rate.

Howrah Haat

Howrah Haat might be a deary place, but being the supplier for some of the best stores located in both Howrah and Kolkata, it has a good collection that shoppers can browse from. Since most of the dealings are in wholesale, it is better to shop for the whole family in one go.

Malls

Malls are a destination for youngsters who have their minds set on buying branded clothes only. Here are some of the malls that can be a great option if they have a generous pujo budget:
