Laad Bazaar is world famous for it's Lac Bangles and Pearls. Carts full of colourful lac bangles line the street, bright brocades hang outside shops, their silver and gold sequins glittering in the sun. In small boutiques, druggists sit and face their huge old scales and in old glass cases, incense sticks are sold besides ointments for curing piles.

At intervals along the tiny streets, men wash and carefully arrange beetle leaves for people to savour the taste of the "Hyderabadi pan".
