Chronicle Reporter, Bhopal
Every year in the month of Ramadan, lights and attractive decorations are done in the major markets of Bhopal city.
This Ramadan, people have decorated their neighborhoods and homes with light bulb strings. Hundreds of localities and small streets of the old city are seen illuminated with colorful flickers. The main centers of purchase for Ramadan and Eid are Chowk Bazaar, Ibrahimpura, Nadeem Road, Lakherapura, Jumerati, Itwara, Jahangirabad, Qazi Camp, Lakshmi Talkies etc. The local committees of these markets make arrangements for decorations on various festivals. These colorful lights add more enthusiasm to happiness and are successful in dazzling the customers too. Illuminated markets do not allow people to realize the delay of time till late night and the process of buying and selling continues till early morning. As per tradition, this Ramadan the markets are seen full of lights and buzzing with customers.
Streets illuminated with lights
Usually, people have been personally decorating their homes to express the joy of the festival, but this Ramadan the trend is such that even the localities, streets, squares and intersections get filled with decorations. From Arif Nagar to Jahangirabad, from Ahata Rustam Khan to Kohefiza and Idgah Hills and from Bagh Dilkushabagh to Farhat Afza and Aish Bagh, fringes of electric bulbs are visible. Local enthusiastic youth took up the responsibility of this decoration campaign in various localities of the old city. A certain amount of cooperation was taken by knocking door to door. When the required amount was not deposited, the youth increased their contribution and completed the decoration work by taking some additional amount from those who could pay more.
