Where is this place located, how can visitors reach it, and when did you visit it? |

Assalamu Alaikum, how are you all? I hope you are all doing well. So today I have come to discuss the traditional market with you. So first I told you where this market is located and how visitors can come to this market. So you can take an autorickshaw from Jirabo or Abdullahpur and pay 10 to 20 taka to come to this Kalur market. It is located next to Jirabo market on Ashulia Road. However, the market is next to my house. I have been here for almost a long time. So tomorrow I will visit this market.

What tradition, craft, occupation, food culture, or community practice makes this place culturally significant? |
|---|
So, because of their profession, they have built this market in a traditional way. Because the market is traditional, there are different types of professional people in this market and because of the presence of professional people, they can meet. People work all day and come to the market in the evening or in the morning. And when they come to the market, they meet their friends and acquaintances. And here, all the professional people sit all day and people they don't know come and meet them.

How has this heritage been preserved and passed from one generation to another? |
|---|
There are some shops in the market that have been going on for generations. Some people there run those shops without doing any other job. And this market has developed its tradition in this way. And this is how they are bringing it from the previous generation to the current generation. They are trying very hard to sustain this tradition and they are still sustaining this tradition.

How does this living heritage contribute to the local community or economy today? |
|---|
The market here is a tradition, the type of shops in the market and the different foods available around the shops. In this way, the market has been improved by installing more different shops. Especially because of the traders who are here, but today they are coming so far. They have also expanded their shop to run the culture and the economic aspects. Due to this economic expansion, they are moving forward very well here. This is why their family runs it beautifully.

What can visitors see, learn, or experience here that helps them understand the local culture and heritage? |
|---|
Here, visitors can actually see everything with their own eyes. And how the market is run here and the different shops there are and they can see them. And they can see how the food is prepared here. Actually, there are many different shops in this market. I hope that they can actually gain experience here and they can learn something from here. Especially if they see how a businessman runs his business, then this will become an experience for him. And he can use this to move forward.

What challenges could threaten this heritage, and what can be done to help preserve it for future generations? |
|---|
In my opinion, it is very difficult to preserve the traditions of the previous generation. Because we are losing the traditions for modernity. However, this tradition can be threatened for one reason. That is, the road inside the market actually gets flooded when it rains. And because of the flooding, the market is not as visible as before and very few people are seen at the market. So I hope that if the road inside the market is repaired properly, it is possible to preserve this tradition. So, I bid farewell here today.
