Need a cheap umbrella before tonight and the lake stalls look open in the drizzle. Where do travelers actually find one that lasts a stand.

The stalls on the shop side of the lake sell simple umbrellas all morning; pick one that opens smoothly twice before you pay.

I bought one near the lake before lunch for a few hundred rupees; the first stall catch was loose, so I walked two more shops and tested the spring.

A hotel desk shop is pricier and often sold down on parade days; the lake is the better hunt if you can spare twenty minutes.
