Photo taken inside a shop in the same market. I often buy stuff for home from here and have good communication and familiarity with this shopkeeper. Vegetables, fruits and groceries are available in his shop.


This market is considered to be the largest market in the entire district. And almost all the villages that are attached to this district carry their goods home from this market. The history of this market is also quite old. But people's business style has not changed. As when this market started then most of the people used to set up their shops on the road and even today they are found doing the same. And this is the hallmark of this market.
Many people also enter the market just to earn a living. When all the shopkeepers of the market know that someone is sitting there with the intention of robbing the customers only. Together they remove him from there. Serving customers is the first priority of shopkeepers here.

In Covid

And this market was often open even in Covid. People kept coming and going. I myself went shopping from this market many times in Covid. Here there was a ban only after nine o'clock at night and markets were closed and it became necessary for people to stay at home.
Also, on normal days, this market remains open till around 11 pm. And early yesterday morning I took this picture of it showing it closed.

There are many shops in this market and almost all of them are for everyday life. Like, cup shops, stationeries, vegetables and fruits, they are plentiful. There are also two hospitals, two colleges and a government school in the same market. That is, right next to it. If there were inside the market, where would the market go?
There are many clothes shops, food shops. Fast food, Biryani, Burger, Chaat etc. And there are shops selling sugarcane drinks and other fruit drinks. Obviously, this is a very good business in any market. Customers will come and eat from you, but shopkeepers will also prefer to eat from your nearby shop. When they like your food.

There are many things in this market. But firstly, I don't know the rates of all things. Obviously I know the same things I keep buying. So let me share with you the prices of some of these things.

Tomatoes	220 per Kg	4.2 Steem

Why I like This Market

---

I absolutely love this market for so many reasons. But I try to add many of them below.

• As it is the cheapest market.
• Everything is easily found here.
• Shopkeepers here are mostly local. This thing is very helpful in communication when you speak the same language and are from the same region.
• It is quite close to my house.
• Shopkeepers are very soft hearted and have good manners.
• There are shops of some acquaintances here. You don't have to go far to chat with them, but you can easily meet them right here in the market.
• Whenever there is something to eat, and I want to eat from a hotel, this market has this facility very well and I go here.
• In the same market there are also many games shops like video games, handball games. Snooker Club etc. So when you want to play these games, you have to go to this market. Because this is the nearest market.
