In Udaipur, the festival calendar is really a shopping calendar in disguise. Rakhi, Teej, Gangaur, Diwali and the long wedding season all come with the same family question: "So, what are you wearing?"
If the honest answer is "I'll figure it out", this guide is for you. We've gathered the saree shops in Udaipur that Udaipur Visit has featured, grouped them by area so you can plan a sensible route, and added a few tips to help you buy calmly. It's a local starting point, not a ranking.

Madhuban and Bhatt Ji Ki Bari
This is the most convenient cluster if you're staying in the city centre: three stores within a short hop of each other.
Zari Jaipur
On Nyay Marg near Court Choraha, this Udaipur branch is a practical first stop for sarees, designer styles and festive Indian wear. Expect colourful fabrics and traditional outfits that work for Rakhi as well as bigger family occasions.
Priyadarshini Sarees
Near the American Hospital and Residency Road, Priyadarshini has a traditional frontage and a wide spread of festive and occasion sarees. Good for comparing classic styles side by side.
Kothari Sarees
On the first floor of City Center in Bhatt Ji Ki Bari, Kothari displays its sarees across entire walls, which makes it easy to compare colours and designs quickly before you commit.
Panchwati
Roop Shree
Up on the first floor on Panchwati's Main Road, Roop Shree is known for a big display of bright festive sarees and ethnic outfits. Handy if you're still deciding on a colour and want to see lots of options in person.
Madhushree Sarees
Close to Bhartiya Lok Kala Mandal at Panchwati Circle, Madhushree has a large range of sarees and traditional outfits. Pair it with Roop Shree and you've covered Panchwati in one outing.
Durga Nursery Road and Delhi Gate
Jasvi Collections
Inside Manglam Fun Square, Jasvi is the place for variety: designer sarees, lehengas, suits, kurtis, gowns and Indo-western outfits. Ideal if you haven't decided whether you want a saree at all.
Yuvti by Bhupendra Singh
Opposite the Town Hall at Delhi Gate Circle, Yuvti has a boutique feel and mixes designer sarees with contemporary ethnic wear. A good choice if you want something traditional with a modern twist.
For Rajputi and traditional looks
Rajwadi Sarees & Lehenga Ghar
Near Sahara Complex on Rajasthan Hospital Road in Sector 14, Rajwadi leans firmly towards traditional Rajasthani fashion: Rajputi poshak, designer handloom sarees, lehengas and bridal wear. Its collections include Jaipuri bandhani, chunri, Kota doria, organza and georgette. If you're specifically hunting for a Rajputi saree, put this one on your list.
Kasturi Saree
In Madhu Ji Ki Badi, Kasturi offers sarees, suits and lehengas for festivals and weddings, along with Rajputi suits, poshak and chiffon sarees. A strong pick if your festive look is more classic than party.
Further out: Hadagaon and Badgaon
Devika Saree House
Near the Devra water supply in Hadagaon, Devika stocks fancy and wedding sarees, designer sarees and lehenga-cholis. Worth the trip if you have a wedding coming up after the festival too.
Aryan Saree Center
At Ara Machine in Badgaon, Aryan carries sarees, suits, designer lehengas, fancy sarees, wedding wear and ready stitched blouses. It also does wholesale as well as retail, which helps if you're dressing the whole family.
Choosing the right saree
- Think about the day. Rakhi and Teej fall in the monsoon and involve hours of visiting relatives, so lighter fabrics win. Save the heavy silk for an evening wedding.
- Go regional if you can. Bandhani, leheriya and chunri prints feel right at home in Mewar. Our souvenir guide explains how to spot handmade tie-dye.
- Buy for more than one occasion. If you're spending more, choose a colour you'll happily wear again at weddings and festivals.
- Consider alternatives. Lehengas, suits and poshak can be just as festive and easier to move in.
Good to know: Always ask whether a blouse piece is included and how long stitching or alterations will take. In the week before a big festival, tailors across the city are flat out, so shop early.
Shop smarter
Set a budget before you walk in, feel the fabric against your skin, and don't buy the first saree you fall for. Visit two or three shops in the same area and compare.

Quick answers
Where can I buy Rajputi sarees in Udaipur?

Which area of Udaipur has the most saree shops?
Madhuban and Bhatt Ji Ki Bari, plus Panchwati, give you several stores within a short distance, so you can compare easily.
