- General Note:
- Observations: Local old people pointed out that the Shahi Bazaar inside Fareed Gate was formarly known as Bhabra Bazaar. Officials of Bahawalpur Museum confirmed and added that alongwith Shahi Bazaar, Sarrafa Bazaar and Machli Bazaar are also a part of formar Bhabra Bazaar.
- General Note:
- Condition: It is a huge market with conjusted shops. All the streets are covered with canvas. There are two Hindu temples near this market. One operational Walmeki Temple, the other Qala Dhari Temple (which was converted into a school but now it's one part is sealed. Others are converted to residential apartments.)
- General Note:
- Local Behaviour: Care taker of the Walmeki Temple is very reluctant in forwarding any information. After confirming our intentios he allowed us to visit the temple and told us about Bhabra Bazaar adding that it was populated by Hindus. (local people don't discriminate between Jains and Hindus)
