Children's clothing stores, in particular, have seen a spike in demand as parents prioritize festive outfits for their kids. Retailers, from high-end brands to local shops, are capitalizing on the festive spirit by offering discounts and special promotions.

With decorations and shopping in full swing, the city is entering a lively festive phase.
Looking ahead, the focus now shifts to Dhanteras, a day traditionally associated with buying precious metals. Jewellers are reporting early bookings, and many are promoting savings schemes to attract customers. However, fluctuations in gold prices present challenges, making the upcoming Dhanteras a critical indicator of consumer sentiment. Retail sectors, including automobiles and electronics, are also poised for a sales boost, as Nagpur's retail landscape braces for a significant week ahead.
