Chor Bazaar, located near Bhendi Bazaar in South Mumbai, is one of the largest flea markets in India.

The word Chor means thief in Hindi-Urdu. It was originally called Shor Bazaar, meaning noisy market, but became chor because of the British pronunciation the word. Eventually stolen goods started finding their way into the market, resulting in it living up to its new name. It is now famous for antique and vintage items.

This is basically an "organized" flea market, where one has to rummage through junk to find what one wants. There's a saying about this area, if you lose anything in Mumbai you can buy it back from the "Chor Bazaar".
