Head onward toward a traditional wet market. Peruse bustling market stalls brimming with fresh vegetables, seafood, and even live frogs.

Disembark your train and walk a short distance to reach rows of shops selling produce, spices, and flower gardens in a riot of vibrant colors and scents. Make your way through the frenzy to arrive at the shop of a renaissance-man-cum-shop owner who is famous for making flower garlands as well as tailoring Indian saris and suits.
