Some shops are permanent but other sellers are rotated, usually for fifteen days.The architectural features of the complex have been especially designed in the traditional north Indian style, with brickwork jail (lattice) and stone roofs.A hall in the complex specifically caters to exhibitions of the handlooms and handicrafts. A souvenir shop, also displays attractive ethnic products.The small thatched roof cottages and kiosks, without any concrete structures provide a village atmosphere.The shops are set up on platforms, which act as a link in the Bazar design. The courtyards between the shops are paved in stone and interspaced with grass to retain a visual softness.The landscaping of the area incorporates colourful flowering shrubs and trees, thus the entire complex is in harmony with the environment.
