Diamonds / jewellery should be purchased at proper reputed jewellers so that chances of cheating are less. Tanishq outlets all over India are guaranteed though they may be on the higher side. You can get your designs made up at Tribhovandas, Mehrasons and other jewellers. Karol Bagh in Delhi is probably the best for Indian trad clothes - especially for marriage trousseaux, and in Mumbai you must visit Silk Museum at Dadar TT. Areas like Santacruz West, Linking Rd, Parle East all have good reputed stores selling traditional clothes at mid to higher end budgets, mostly aimed at the marriage market. http://www.indiahotelreview.com/ is a good site to check on hotels at all budget ranges. You can organise sightseeing tours better after you reach your destination. Look in the local newspaper classified sections, there is no dearth of tour operators, also your hotel will be able to suggest some. An easier way is to rent a car for as many days as you want, all are with driver, Indica AC rents for about Rs1000 for 80km, this way you can go where you want at your convenience and comfort without any parking hassles, and your shopping can be dumped in the car as you purchase it! Check the local paper classifieds for best deals. www.mid-day.com is good for Mumbai classifieds. In Delhi, all hotels have a booklet Delhi Diary for the fortnight, which has classifieds for all these services.

i am from mumbai... its actually the best place to shop... you'll get all diff type of clothes... diamonds i am not very sure but i can give you good shopping joints

1. Bandra Linking Road (good shoes & clothes... its advisable that if you get a good pair of shoes from the road side then you get it fixed by a cobbler just in case) Also bargain a lot in this place... you can reduce the price by atleats 40 - 45%

2. Gandhi Market - there are 2 gandhi markets one in Kind Circle near sion & one in ghatkopar... you'll get good indian wear...

3. Bhuleshwar - this place is a little tricky to reach... but a good whole sale market & you get loads of jewellery

4. zaveri bazar - i think this is the place where you can diamonds i think...i am not sure... but can confirm!

DO NOT go shopping to colaba causeway... all the stuff there is very highly priced! but colaba is a good place to visit...

for hotels you could visit www.yatra.com... www.makemytrip.com.... i think there are good accomodations listed there!

Go to proper show room so you will get all carat's details of diamonds on your bill.

Dont buy diamonds from small local shops , they could cheat you.
