This is the Wedding Street, where you can get anything you might need for a wedding, such as turbans for the members of the grooms party, money garlands (1- 5- and 10-rupee models), decorations, small pooja kits, envelopes for cash gifts, etc. When giving a wedding present of money, you have to give an odd amount, such as Rs. 101 or 501 or 1001, etc, for luck. The gift envelopes have a clear pocket in the front with a 1 rupee coin, making it easy.
