Maha Bazaar is Byron's original and iconic hippie store, and one of the last remaining remnants of Byron's counter-culture past. Like a vibrant kaleidoscope, the store is a treasure trove of exotic homewares and bohemian delights. Follow the scent of sandalwood and step inside the rainbow-colored storefront to let Maha Bazaar weave its magic around you.
As you peruse the worldly treasures and play on the handmade instruments, you might find yourself in a deep spiritual conversation with the eccentric English owner and founder Radha. A vibrant character, and old school environmentalist who has played a vital role in the Northern Rivers community.
Over the years, Maha Bazaar has become more than just a store — it has woven itself into the very fabric of the town. A meeting place for artists, musicians and kindred spirits and a sanctuary of self-expression. A place where locals and visitors gather to share stories, exchange smiles, and bask in the warmth of genuine connection. Often times the shop becomes a stage for impromptu jam sessions with the sounds of drums and didgeridoos filling the air. It's as if the store itself becomes an instrument, vibrating with the harmonious energy of the sweet souls who pass through its doors year in, year out.
Today, Maha Bazaar remains as a symbol of the town's vibrant and free-spirited soul and a testament to the enduring spirit of the hippie movement. Unfortunately all journeys come to an end and due to ill health, Radha and the family are moving on from the business, and have decided to sell this unique and timeless store. This is a rare opportunity to become part of the Byron tapestry with a well established, lifestyle business in a prime location.
