The area around Crawford Market is full of bazaars and street vendors. One can find just about anything there, from rugs to underwear. It's a crowded and lively place that reminded me of Turkish or Moroccan bazaars. The side alleys lead to a labyrinth of walkways when one can find antiques, jewelry, rugs, and all sorts of fabrics and housewares. When we asked someone on the street for directions, he led us through some narrow passages and archways to our destination. The passages were flanked by stalls selling some of the most beautiful silk fabrics I've seen. Of course, I made one of the "biggest mistakes" someone can make in Mumbai... :) I stopped! Within 5 seconds, I was hearing people in line behind me yelling at me to keep moving... Because when you are in Mumbai, chalo!, go with the flow... and keep walking... :)
