Lower Bazaar is a market in Shimla city. It is just below the Middle Bazaar and Mall Road. The market is popular among locals.[1] The market has diverse range of shops such as clothing and restaurants.[2]
The Lower Bazaar was settled by the British for local Indians. The Britishers did not allow Indians in Upper Bazaar (Mall Road), which is why Lower Bazaar was created.[3] Shimla Municipal Corporation has declared parts of the bazaar as no-vending zones, which has provoked angry reactions from shopkeepers.[4][5][6][7]
