Introduction:
The bazaar, or the marketplace, in India, has always been a common meeting place, like the square in Europe. The marketplace is the place where the people of the locality would gather on market days, buy and sell things, maintain and enhance public relations, exchange news and gossip and get back on their way home satiated. Though urban India has lost much of its old marketplace flavor, the villages still succeed to maintain some of the old appeal of the markets. The main bazaar, Samode is the main and the only marketplace in Samode Village, located 42 km to the north west of Jaipur.
History:
Like all other settlements, the history of the Main Bazaar Samode goes back nearly to the time of establishment of the village. With the gradual increase in population of the village, the need for a market was felt. The local artisans began to gather at a particular spot to sell their wares, which in turn attracted some more traders and locals and led to the establishment of the market- the main bazaar in Samode Rajasthan.
Description:
A pebbled street bustling with people- traders, artisans, buyers, food vendors, with shops lined on both sides, the main bazaar, Samode in India is a collage of noise and colors. Vibrantly colored fabrics, glass and lacquered bangles, dress materials are on sale. Along with the traditional items, one can also find food stalls, and other knick knacks on sale.
If you want to reach the Main Bazaar, just ask any of the villagers, they would be glad to show you the way. Make it a point to enjoy some of the local sweets and snacks before you leave. The main bazaar, Samode also offers excellent opportunities for photography given the interesting color scheme of the wares and among the apparels of the people around.
