Around 103 km away from Jhansi is the tourist town of Chanderi. Surrounded by hills, forests and lakes, it is famous for its ancient Jain Temples and world-renowned Chanderi sarees. These are produced from pure silk, silk cotton and Chanderi cotton and different patterns like peacock design, flora art, traditional coins and geometrics are woven into them. Most of these sarees feature opulent embroidery and gold and silver brocade or zari work. Chanderi is dotted with several monuments that have been built by the Bundela Rajputs and Malwa sultans. However, one of the best things to do here is shopping for Chanderi silk sarees, brocades, salwar kurtis and muslin cloths. For those who want to delve a little deeper into the local culture, a visit to the Pranpur village is recommended.
