Mysore is a doll city round the year. The price can be on
the expensive side for clay figurines. If you happen to travel to Madurai or
some other parts of Tamil Nadu, the clay figurines are the best to be purchased
there as there are large varieties and mostly cheaper than elsewhere.
Happy shopping of Dasara Gombe (Dolls) and happy Gombe Habbe
