SLC33-W5: My Community, My Story – Festivals, Culture & Traditions

Assalamu Alaikum, how are you all? I hope you are all very well. So today I have come to discuss the traditional market with you. So first of all, what is the name of this tradition of mine and where is it located? Basically, the name of this market is "Jirabo Bazar" and this market is very old and traditional. And it is that you can come to your Jirabo by renting ten taka from Abdullahpur and when you come to Jirabo, you will see the market. Especially when there is shopping in this market, all the people gather here and it is very nice to see it.

This tradition of my community is a very important tradition, it is a very old tradition. So the main reason for this is where we find the raw markets especially in the market. There are various market items here, anyone can buy everything from here. In other words, we need some markets for our daily cooking. In that case, this raw market is more needed. So it is very important for my community. The market was very old before, but due to problems on the road, some shops have been moved.

Jirabo Market is a very popular market. Different people come here and buy different things. But some of the favorite things they buy here are their home raw market. In other words, they go to this market for food. In this market, everything from vegetables to onions, garlic, ginger, chilies is available here. When people come to shop in this market, everyone gathers here, I like this scene very much. Again, some people come here to visit the market. And they buy some wholesale goods, and some people see what their traditional market is like.

A lot of people come to the Jirabo market and they roam around to shop. They go from one shop to another and bargain for it, and if they don't like it, they go to another shop, that's what I like very much. In fact, people live on their agricultural work or the crops they cultivate. And they support their entire family by selling them. But anyway, when people come to this market from far and wide to shop and people gather around some shops, that's when I like this scene.

The way my community brings people together is that people come here to buy and sell in the market, so many people come together here and it is very nice to see. And if any visitor comes to my place then I would say that you can come here. And here you can see what the traditional market is like and how people come together here. There are many old people here, there are many business people who you can learn a lot from and gain a lot of experience from. So I would suggest you to visit here and enjoy everything here. I bid farewell here today.
