INTRODUCTION –
The weekly markets in local places have played considerable role as the leading
source for local’s livelihood and further for development of rural and urban
areas. These local markets generally provide basic to different levels of need
like-clothes, toys, basic house goods, ornamental products, vegetables,
species, fruits, foot wares, beauty products etc. As these all are available in
cheap price with good amount and useable quality.
A weekly market is called because it is held on a specific day of the week.
Weekly market does not have their permanent shops. Traders’ setup shops for
the day and then close them up in the evening, then they made set up at the
different place in next day. There are thousands of such markets in India and
public come for their everyday requirement.
Weekly market has different names in different states like some weekly market
called Haat or a Penth in Uttar Pradesh (UP), Peth in Maharashtra like
budhwar pet in Pune , Alwarpet and Saidapet in Tamil Nadu.
Weekly markets or ‘hafta bazaars’ are an important part of India’s cultural and
traditional milieu. These informal markets are held once a week at a particular
place, within varying time slots, and cater to a diverse spectrum of consumers.
Although these markets are important from both an economic and a cultural
point of view, they have not been documented properly.
Marketing involved the movement of various goods, materials and services
from the place of production until the hands of the last users. In present
century, technological expansion has undergone changed market and

product of human civilization. . Thus, weekly market centers play important

Purpose of Weekly Market: - The purpose of weekly bazaars has been to

provide farmers and manufacturers a platform to sell their products directly to
consumers at fair prices, without the involvement of middlemen and
wholesalers. Through this weekly market the main purpose of farmers, poor or
unemployed people is to earn some money for their basic needs. Some of
products are handmade and some of them are made by factory or in local
areas.
This act categorically defines a ‘street vendor’ as a person engaged in the
vending of articles, goods, wares, food items or merchandise of everyday use,
or a person who offers services to the general public on a street, lane,
sidewalk, footpath, pavement, public park or any other public place or private
area, from a temporary built-up structure or by moving from place to place.
The act includes hawkers, peddlers, squatters and other synonymous terms
which may be local or region specific. Accordingly, vendors in local weekly
markets are a subset of street vendors who regularly come together to provide
market services at a particular place and time.
Some of these markets are authorized by the state municipal authorities
against payment of a fixed amount, others continue to operate without any
proper approval or record.

History: -
5|P a ge
The word market is derived from Latin word “Marcatus” which means trade or
place where the business or transaction are conducted. It is public gathering of
buyers and sellers of community at an appointed place at the regular interval.
In ancient Greece, the agora, the city square was the center for major social
activities. People along buying goods from the market would stroll in the
square discussing topics of the days, business persons making deals. similarly,
Forum of the ancient Rome was the activity center.
The development of the market along the street and around the centers of
religious and social activities is apparent in the planning of traditional towns.
Evolution of a market space: -
The evolution of market is as old as human civilization. it started within the
human settlement where producers sold goods to rest of the community
through mutual exchange of goods, but this was limited to a certain territory.
Being a zone for commodity exchange markets have been evolved gradually
with time, also by change living patterns, after industrial revolution, modes of
transportation developed and so peripheries of trade further extended and
new opportunities for further specialization emerged.
The tradition of markets in Delhi has a long history. Chandni Chowk Bazaar,
Meena Bazaar, Sadar Bazaar and Sabzi Mandi are some of Delhi’s historical
market centres for various products. During the Mughal era, these weekly
markets were run by travelling salesmen who would set up shops at new
locations every day; they would come back to each location once a week.
Delhi, where vendors came together and sold their products on particular
days. These came to be known as hafta bazaars and were popularly named
after the day they were set up [i.e. Budhbazaar (budh is Wednesday in Hindi),
Shukrabazaar (shukra is Friday in Hindi)].
The nature of market during ancient period was different than today because
presently, villages have self-depend. During medieval period foreign traders
brought new products in the market as the same time money became a mode
of commodity exchange. These weekly markets come from ancient time and
local areas people easily connect with this market and these is so much
comfortable for them because it has cheap and good product, they have many
varieties and good discount and available nearly in that particular area.

6|P a ge
What comprises south Delhi today is a culmination of several villages, such as
Mohammadpur, Mahipalpur and Jiya Sarai. There are several hafta bazaars in
these areas that previously served the local people. Inter-village trade existed
even when Delhi was under the Mughal rule, though the market then was
much more segregated than the kind we see today. During the Mughal period,
only predominantly Muslim villages could sell sheep, fowl and pigeons whereas
flour, rice, vegetables and milk were left to the people from the other
religions. Among other commodities available were salt, spices and metalware
but they were mostly procured from outside or were made of raw materials
that were not available locally. Artisans and manufacturers who
specialised in specific items often sold their own products.

CHAIN OF MARKET

7|P a ge
Methodology:-
Second hand information will be collected from sources such as libraries,
dissertations and public archives.

Articles and websites will be also be a part of the database during the
research process.

Data Collection and Analysis and: -

Delhi is a major hub of weekly markets in which these weekly markets held
different zones or areas for making a good income for sellers. The most
significant features of a big or capital city are a weekly market.

This weekly market held in every day in different areas and these markets have
different names according to the days like: -

SUNDAY – RAVI BAZAR / ITWAR BAZAR

MONDAY- SOM BAZAR

TUESDAY – MANGAL BAZAR

WEDNESDAY – BUDH BAZAR

THRUSDAY- GURU BAZAR

FRIDAY – SHUKRA BAZAR

SATURDAY – SHANI BAZAR

8|P a ge
Delhi is divided into 11 administrative districts and there are more than 250
hafta bazaars in Delhi and NCR area which held every day but mostly in
Sunday. The frequency analysis of these markets suggests that the number of
markets also varies according to the day when these markets are held. A
higher number of markets are held in the early days of the week than on
Sunday many hafta bazaars primarily originated close to factories and
warehouses of suppliers to directly sell the products from these setups.

(A) (B)
The upper graph shows that the SUNDAY and TUESDAY have large no of
installation of weekly markets in Delhi and after that MONDAY and FRIDAY
have large installation of local weekly markets in different areas and lastly
the THRUSDAY and SATURDAY has less installation compare to other days
of marketing.
In this upper graph (A) shows the weekly markets held in that areas or
zones in a particular day or in particular time zones, mostly 250 hafta
bazars held in Delhi and mostly in Sunday with Tuesday in some particular
areas. Sunday is mostly weekly market day because most of public like
shopping on that day because they have free time and they like to spend
that time in shopping.

9|P a ge
This pie chart shows us the shopping percentage of public where they like
to buy their basic products or goods. In India mostly public like to buy their
basic needs products in the weekly markets approx. 40% to 50% percent
people take or buy their goods from weekly market because they are
cheap, flexible, average quality, good amount of quality, many varieties
available.
Then 20% to 25% percent of public like to buy their products or goods from
general shops which are good in quality, average rate, easily available, and
these shops are placed in that local residence areas generally. Then public
like to buy their products from retail shops around 10% to 20% percent
people buy from in retail shops. Then lastly the public 5% percent like to
buy their products from shopping malls, because their products are too
much expensive so middle class families like to avoid their products.

In this pie chart it shows the time period of public rush or gathering in the
weekly market. According to the graph the time where the maxi mum rush
gets in market is around 5pm to 8.30pm where mostly people come out for
shopping in their local markets, at this time many problems has created like
pit pockting, traffic problem, too much of rush create moment issue etc. In
this evening of weekly market ladies generally spend their time in shopping
or bargaining.
8.30pm to 10pm there is less no of rush in weekly market compare to
evening time because mostly people move back to their home.in afternoon
where they assembled their shops at the time of 3.30pm to 5pm the public
start moving in the weekly market because of the dryness or hotness
because of sun the public like to buy their products in evening time.

spaces which give them proper identity of the market or proper place of
