EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling atmosphere of Sadar Bazaar in Delhi, India, circa 1920. The image presents a vibrant scene of activity, with oxen-drawn carts laden with goods making their way through the narrow streets lined with shops and stalls. The awnings of the stores provide respite from the scorching sun, while the vendors call out to potential customers, enticing them with their wares. Sadar Bazaar, meaning 'head market' in Urdu, has been a major commercial hub in Delhi for centuries. It is renowned for its textiles, electronics, and jewelry, attracting both local residents and tourists alike. The market caters to a diverse population, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of India. The photograph showcases the traditional mode of transportation in the region, with oxen being used to transport heavy goods. The oxen, adorned with ornate headgear, plod along the cobblestone streets, their strength and determination evident in their every step. The scene is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of Delhi, who continue to thrive in the bustling urban environment. The Sadar Bazaar of yesteryears, as depicted in this photograph, stands in stark contrast to the modern-day market. While the essence of the bazaar remains the same, the means of transportation and the commercial landscape have undergone significant changes. This photograph serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural traditions that continue to thrive in Delhi.
