Marma bazaar is a temporary market where local tribal people sell their goods, mainly vegetables, on the open street on both sides keeping the middle for walking by the customers and passersby. It is not a permanent place for trading, however, there are permanent shophouses that remain open throughout the week. The Marma market remains open from morning to evening on Sunday and Wednesday.
This market or bazaar or Bazar is famous as most women are the sellers in this market. This is because the women in the Marma society are the owners and heads of the family. They do business, work in the field, and sell their own produced products.
