Anjuna Flea Market
Once just a backpacker and hippie hangout selling kaftans and
chillums, the Anjuna Flea Market is now more commercial, with a
broad range of high-quality goods on sale. Traders from all over
India come to sell their wares: Lamani women from Karnataka,
dressed in their traditional garb, sell colourful, elaborately
woven clothes; Kashmiri stalls display silver and papier-mâché
boxes; and Tibetans preside over orderly rows of sundry Himalayan
curios. Even if not planning to haggle for anything, the market is
a great place to watch the world go by and mingle with bands of
musicians, snake charmers, beggars and the inevitable juggling
hippies. The market takes place every Wednesday.
Information & Facts

Language
Although English is generally used for official and
business purposes, Hindi is the official language and is spoken by
about 40 percent of the population. Urdu is the language common
with the Muslim demographic. India has a total of 22 official
languages
Money
The currency is the Indian Rupee (INR), which is divided into
100 paise (singular paisa). Major currencies can be changed at
banks, and authorised bureaux de changes. It is impossible to
obtain rupees outside India, but no matter what time you arrive in
India there will be an exchange office open at the airport. It is
illegal to exchange money through the black market and it is
advisable to refuse torn notes, as no one will accept them apart
from the National Bank. It is best to change money into small
denominations. Travellers cheques and major credit cards are widely
accepted, particularly in tourist orientated establishments. ATMs
are not generally available.
Opening Times
Every Wednesday, from 9am till dusk
