Rishikesh is a pilgrimage center, so the glitz and glamour of big cities is missing. But here you can find many handicraft items. These lovely and beautiful handicrafts are made of blooming beads, pleasing pearls, and scintillating shells. Major piece of attraction here in Rishikesh is the radiant rudraksha mala or the Hindu rosary. There are some shops like UP handloom shop and Khadi Bhandar where you can purchase saris, sheets, kurtas and rugs. There is a vast range of various Ayurvedic medicines available at the Ayurvedic Center. These medicines are prepared from Himalayan herbs. The major shopping stops in the sacred city of Rishikesh are Haridwar Road, Dehradun Road, Ghat road and Railway Road.
