This is an old and local market located in the Firingi Bazar area of Chittagong. This market is called Firingi Bazar because it is located in the Firingi Bazar area. Since it is a local market, there are no special facilities here. It consists of several grocery stores, and fish, meat, and vegetable shops. People from the surrounding areas can easily come to this market by rickshaw, CNG, bike, or on foot.

Firingi Bazar is a historical and ancient area in Chittagong city. And the market that has developed around this area is called Firingi Bazar Kacha Bazar. Where you will find almost all kinds of goods for your daily needs. Today I am discussing about this Firingi Bazar. Firingi basically means foreigners. The Portuguese first came to this area and started business in the 16th century. And the name of these foreigners was named Firingi Bazar in keeping with the settlement and trade.

Firingi Market is very closely associated with my family. I have been living in Chittagong for almost seven years. In these seven years, I have been buying almost all my daily needs of groceries, fish, meat, vegetables from this market. So, even if I wanted to, I would not be able to avoid this Firingi Market.

I shop regularly from this Firingi market. So my family and I have become acquainted with several shopkeepers in this market. I buy my fresh vegetables, fish and meat from Firingi market once a week, especially on Friday. It is a holiday and fresh goods are available on this day. So I especially prefer Friday to buy goods from here.

3. Why do you think it is important for new generations to know about this legacy?

It is important for the new generation to know about any heritage. If traditional things are not passed down from generation to generation, they may be lost someday. Many of our young generation are aware of the story of Firingi Bazaar. Many others do not know about it. However, if they know about heritage, they will be able to learn about the history of a country and at the same time they will be aware of preserving it. The heritage of any country carries the identity of that country. And these traditions make that country more prosperous.
4. In general terms, what do you like most about this site?

Firingi Bazar is an old area of Chittagong. Since Chittagong city is located on the seashore, in addition to local fish, various fresh marine fish are available in the Firingi Bazar market. If anyone wants, they can buy marine fish from here as per their wish. Since Firingi Bazar is an old market, this market needs some renovation. The narrow roads and muddy roads during the rainy season make it difficult to move around. There is a lot of crowd of buyers in the morning and afternoon. Because this is a market located in an old area.
