Can i know where to buy the things besides big bazaar ?
Certainly.
You can visit the markets in Udupi, there is a campus store near MIT which more or less keeps everything on the list. There are also certain shops in and around Manipal, including the Canarra Mall and the ones in Tiger Circle where you can buy the items now.
