Kabutarkhana Market
Kabutarkhana Market is a busy local market in Dadar West, named after the kabutarkhana (pigeon house) landmark in the area, and historically associated with the Kirtikar family who owned most of the original shops here. The market is best known for its concentration of silk saree showrooms — many specialising in Maharashtrian sarees, including traditional Nauvari (nine-yard) sarees and regional silk varieties popular with Mumbai's large Maharashtrian community.
For boutique owners targeting Maharashtrian and Marathi-speaking customer bases — whether in Mumbai, Pune, Nashik, or other Maharashtra cities — Kabutarkhana is a valuable source for regionally specific saree styles that are less commonly available in pan-India wholesale catalogs from Surat. The market also stocks utensils and cosmetics, reflecting its role as a genuine local neighbourhood market rather than a purely wholesale-trade destination.
Located a 5-minute walk from Dadar railway station, Kabutarkhana is easy to combine with a New Hindmata / Dadar Saree Market visit on the same trip, given the geographic proximity within Dadar.
What Is Sold at Kabutarkhana Market
Kabutarkhana Market is one of Surat's established wholesale sourcing destinations for Maharashtrian Sarees, Nauvari (Nine-Yard) Sarees, Silk Sarees — the market's highest-demand product categories.

Beyond the flagship categories, the market also carries a strong range of Regional Saree Varieties, Cosmetics, Utensils (general local market). These secondary product lines attract buyers looking to consolidate sourcing into a single-stop visit — picking up both core stock and complementary items without travelling to multiple markets across Surat's Ring Road belt.
All product categories available at Kabutarkhana Market are sourced directly from Surat-based manufacturers and fabric mills, ensuring factory-direct wholesale rates without broker markups. Whether you are a boutique owner, a bulk dealer supplying Tier 2 cities, an e-commerce reseller, or an international exporter, this market provides the breadth of inventory needed to fulfil diverse order requirements at competitive prices.
Tips for Buying at Kabutarkhana Market
Combine with Dadar market trip: Kabutarkhana is a short walk from New Hindmata and the Dadar Saree Market — easily combined into one Dadar-focused sourcing day.
Good for regional specificity: If your boutique serves a Maharashtrian customer base specifically, Kabutarkhana's Nauvari and traditional Maharashtrian saree range fills a gap that pan-India Surat catalogs typically don't cover.
