near laxman jhula in rishikesh. i love the painted rocks.
The jewelry shops in Rishikesh and Haridwar with their traditional and new age designs were a rainbow of colours and styles. From real semi-precious stones to plastic beads, metal to wood, there were thousands of styles. Can you say kid in a candy shop? Ironically, I love jewelry, but have no interest in wearing it,but that at least is easier on the wallet
