The relatively low prices of vegetables, fruits, and flowers in the city’s markets seem to have increased the festival fervour this season.
Most markets across the city saw huge footfall over the weekend, especially Sunday on the eve of the Gauri Ganesha festival on Monday.
K.R. Market was jam-packed on Sunday. However, the market is no longer the only hub for festival shopping and several areas like Gandhi Bazaar, Malleswaram, Rajajinagar, Jayanagar, among others, were bustling with people thronging to buy Ganesha idols, fresh mango leaves, banana stems apart from flowers, fruits, and vegetables.
