#HELLO DEAR STEEMIAN FRIENDS

How are you all, welcome to be a part of the special experience of all the adventurers on the steemit platform. First of all, I would like to thank you @sohanurrahman. Thank you and thank you again for introducing me to more different experiences including this special heritage market.

The essential items that are a part of our daily lives are available in a historical market. I was talking about the market located at Mofiz Hazir Market No. 41, Dhaka 1207, Shukrabad, Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh (it is also known as Shukrabad Puran Bazar). Visitors can easily reach here. For example, if you go straight down from Gabtoli in front of Metro Shopping Mall, this particular Shukrabad market is located on the left. I came here in the afternoon for some shopping.

All vegetables

This special Mofiz Hajir Kachabazar is open from 7:00 AM to 1:30 PM and from 4:00 PM to midnight. This is a very old market where you can buy all the products you need at very low prices. Moreover, all the necessary products are available here.
02:-What tradition, craft, occupation, food culture, or community practice makes this place culturally significant?

1000054525.jpg

In the previous era, this particular place had become a sewer. Here, densely populated or mostly buildings filled these places, and a raw market was built in 1992. At that time, this particular raw market only sold vegetables or fish by spreading paper on the ground. Then the first person came here from Saudi Arabia for Hajj. The place of this particular market belonged to him. Therefore, Mofiz Haji gave the name of this market as the name and the well-known name of the place. It is located in the North City Corporation of Dhaka.

Potatoes,

There are usually food restaurants and various grocery stores here, starting from raw market vegetables to fish, chicken, confectionery items, pots and pans. Local people buy their necessary products in this market every day according to social customs. Especially after evening, people gather in a crowd, this special market is illuminated by the glow of lighting and the crowd of people increases. This special market plays a very important role for the local people here. They do not have to go far to bring the market, but all the products are available at hand, saving people's time. However, here people can happily buy fresh chicken, fresh vegetables and fresh fruits. These special shops highlight the special significance of this market.
03:-How has this heritage been preserved and passed from one generation to another?

This special market has been in existence since 1992. Fresh beef can be bought here. The people of this region buy meat from here and this is a special tradition. Moreover, the residents of the area do their daily shopping for their necessary products every day. People come from far and wide to shop here. The market has been in existence for a long time by converting it into a tin shed. Which is still beautifully preserved in that way.

This special market is still preserved for the convenience of daily shopping of the population to preserve tradition and good health. Since this market is under one ownership, this special market is still being used under the same name. Moreover, Mofiz Haji is still alive. Therefore, the tradition of this market and the tradition of a single generation has been used until 2026. And here, especially the tenants do the most market shopping. In this market, new people are constantly coming to buy raw market.

04:-How does this living heritage contribute to the local community or economy today?
As of the current year 2026, our capital Dhaka of Bangladesh has become a lot of development. Moreover, this special market contributes to the economy with the collective cooperation of all the buyers and sellers who come here every day. Buyers come to this special market to buy necessary products. And the sellers hand over the necessary products to the people for a small profit. This special market is still known as a living tradition with a great combination between buyers and sellers.

Waiting for the customer to arrive at the specified location.

The transportation system on this particular road and the crowd of people in the evenings, from the stories of working people and tea to various foods, play an important role in the economy. The wheels of the economy are quickly moving through the bustling crowd of people. Here, usually the people of the local community and the tenants have given more fulfillment to this particular economy.
05:-What can visitors see, learn, or experience here that helps them understand the local culture and heritage?

1000054536.jpg

Fish market.

Visitors coming here or new tenants or landlords actually have a way to know the price of the necessary goods through bargaining. Of course, I will say this in terms of gaining experience.

Store

First of all, potatoes are 30 taka per kg in a grocery store. But I saw a roadside shop selling them for 25 taka per kg. But the thing is the same. The reason is that you don't have to pay rent in the shops along the roadside, but you have to pay rent for these front or front vegetable shops including grocery stores. Moreover, I consider it my responsibility to walk the streets and listen when leaving the house. Many of us cannot shop and have no idea about the price of things. For them, you must first behave well with the shopkeeper. And by asking the price, you should buy the product for more or less between five taka and ten taka. You should keep such an idea in yourself.

Visitors can gain experience about these special prices. Moreover, one should buy the product by looking carefully and understanding the way to identify fresh vegetables. The inside of the gourd is often swollen and if you rub it with your hand, you can tell whether it is fresh or not. However, I think it is better to see the vegetables with your own eyes. Do not buy beef with thick fibers. Because thick fibers are often buffalo meat. Besides, we can give ourselves the opportunity to gain more experience by checking the price.

First of all, after coming here, if you have someone you know, definitely bring him along and review this special market and discuss the tradition, culture, movement of people, silence, naturalness, collective activities over time. And you can buy the necessary products by asking the price. Moreover, there is a bakery shop here, which is one of the traditional foods for ages. This special food fills the hearts of the people of this area with joy and cultural traditions.
06:-What challenges could threaten this heritage, and what can be done to help preserve it for future generations?

Shop for beef with the right weight and good quality.

Disability is generally one of the environmental social problems. I think that all men who have disability problems should be given the opportunity to run a sedentary business. Which will really create a bond of social mobility. And he himself will be a supporter for his family and not a threat but a future improvement with social tradition and meaning in his career journey. Of course, I think there is nothing greater than work. Rather than reaching out to people, it would be a better way to run any business with the help of neighbors and friends.

Sidewalk shop by the road.

For example, those who cannot speak can do mechanical work. In this, hand skills and intelligence can be done without speaking. Those who can speak but have hand problems can do any vegetable business through digital channels. Work is the key to moving forward in the future generation and family development. Women or men should be encouraged for any work. And a separate disability allowance should be provided by the government. These special facilities should be allocated for them.
