The Parade Market in Kanpur is one of the biggest wholesale markets in the city. Located on Shiwala Road, “Parade” as it is locally called, is a large area hosting hundreds of stalls from clothes to shoes and books to some of Kanpur’s famous street food.
The starting price for anything here is ₹100, which is a complete steal. The most famous things in this market are its food stalls that sell everything from chaat, biryani, sweets and desserts.
The other is the wholesale bookstalls, where one can buy books for leisure reading, competitive exams, academic books and office stationery at the lowest prices. While the ground is open all days of the week, each shop and stall has its own opening and closing times.
