The list of "obligatory" purchases and various souvenirs is amazing. Here is just a short list of what can be brought from India: fabrics - cashmere, silk and Rajasthan cotton. They are made of magnificent saris, scarves, skirts, shawls and blouses. Another - tea, the same, but without the elephant. Further - Indian spices: pepper, turmeric, saffron, clove, cinnamon, as well as unknown to us fragrant powders, which can not be dispensed with when preparing curry. All excellent quality and, by our standards, almost free. At will: decorations made of copper, brass, bronze, silver and gold with inlaid, bright enamel, semiprecious and precious stones. To the heap: statuettes and figurines of clay, copper, glass, sandalwood, bamboo, rosewood and Indian walnut.
