This is my favorite store in all of Bangalore, rivaled ONLY by the Mysore Saree Udyog. I mean, let's be honest, it's hard to say that the store you walk into and cry because it's so BEAUTIFUL isn't in the running for your favorite store [Ahem - those of you who love textiles will understand].
BUT. This isn't Mysore Saree. This is The Explorer Store. At least, that's what I call it...I'm not sure that it has a name. It is the store that sells trinkets and artifacts collected from all of India over years and years and years. We once found an antique Tibetan Prayer reel with a stale and discolored, ages-old prayer rolled up inside. One afternoon, I sat with the owner while he told me the history of India through coins. #Winning
I get excited just looking at it. It is a single-aisle store with every inch of wall and ceiling space used to the fullest. And it is absolutely amazing.
