TODA EMBROIDERY SALES

This store sells handicrafts produced by the Nilgiris tribes. One can find Pukhoor embroidery, textiles with geometric shapes and bright colors made by hand and made only by women of the Toda minority. Nearly 400 women make a living from this ancestral craft. Another small store selling embroidered blankets is also located at the entrance of the Botanical Gardens. If you are looking for warm and ethnic clothes, take a look at the Tibetan market, in front of the gardens.
