A Village Market
A village market is an important place. The villagers meet on fixed days of the week to buy and sell their articles. It generally sits by the side of a river a canal or a big road.
Village markets are of two kinds. Some of them sit twice in a week in the afternoon and break up after sunset. They are known as “bazaar”.
There are two kinds of shops in the village market- permanent shops and temporary shops. In permanent shops, people buy clothes, medicine, papers, sweet-meats and many articles of daily use. Temporary shops are arranged in rows. They are called stalls. These are occupied by shopkeepers on market day. They remain there so long as the market lasts. There are the fish corner, vegetable corner, raw item corner and so on. The sellers in each corner sit in lines. They set up their stock before them. In the village market, nothing is sold at a fixed price. So there is higgling among the sellers and the buyers over the price of commodities. The fish market is the most crowded of all. The betel-leaf sellers sit in a corner under the shed. They are very sellers.
A village market is a meeting place for the villagers. They meet their friends and relatives. The village postman finds a unique place to deliver letters, money orders, parcels etc. to the addressees.
A village market should be properly guided and looked after by a committee.
