If you are keen to explore a traditional village market, visit Srirangapatna on a Saturday. The weekly market of Srirangapatna is typical of a large scale Indian village bazar.
This weekly fair is conducted on the open ground located across the Jamia Masjid, close to the highway. Anything from agricultural commodities to cattle to poultry are among the items traded in the fair.
On the fair day the temporary tents are erected, much the same way it has been for centuries. This is a daylong, bustling affair. The busy part of the trade is during the first half of the day. Visit the fair a bit early in the day, if you don’t want to brave the sun in the open air fair ground.
