An upgraded version of traditional village haat (market), this clean, open-air and spacious market offers space of 62 stalls to the sellers hailing from different regions. Each seller is allotted a stall for maximum of 15 days, thereby allowing more numbers of crafts sellers to attract the visitors visiting the place in huge flocks.
