Anar Kali bazar of Chakwal || Chakwal chapar bazar || Chapar Bazar Chakwal Pakistan

Anar Kali bazar of Chakwal 


 In Chakwal's famous  Chakwal chapar bazar, there is Anar Kali Bazar (anarkali cbazaar)on the left side of Pehlwan Juice House. You can ask it one of the sasta bazar in Pakistan(cheap market in pakistan).Markets with this name are present in almost every other city of Punjab. Lahore's Anarkali Bazaar is their pioneer. The story of Anar Kali is also attributed to this city of Lahore. If this is the truth, then in one of the walls of the same city, this Mahrukh, who had made the mistake of falling in love with the heir of a great empire, would have been chosen. There are a lot of sweethearts stories must be forgotten in the palaces of the Mughal rulers.The anarkali bazar of chakwal rewari is famous all around the world.

           In the sanctum sanctorum of these palaces, there were thousands of flaming bodies waiting to be visited by a member of the royal family. These fun-loving Mughals who came this way from Central Asia would pick a body for a funeral round the clock and then forget it forever. Whether the story of Pomegranate flower growing up in these palaces is fact or fiction may never be decided. Thus, the tomb of Anar Kali also exists, but the question of who is buried in it will always remain. Anar Kali market is also  in many cities and named like anarkali bazaar in Huntington,anar kali bazar of chakwal Ahmedabad,anar kali bazar of chakwal Bangladesh and anar kali bazar of chakwal.

 

Today I was in this market while walking around my city. Due to very little sunshine, this narrow bazaar is usually cool in summer, but today the intense heat of the Savan made it impossible to walk here.

Unlike Lahore's Anar Kali Bazaar, Chakwal's Anar Kali Village is a shopping center for the poor and the middle class. In this bazaar, there are shops for clothes and decoration pieces, etc., but like all our bazaars, there are also plenty of food and drink shops. Some of the women's items here are extravagant and look baggy. Men are seen as a gap in this market. Shopkeepers are seen calling women into their shops making baji baji noises.

         Village women have their own style of shopping. Carrying three or four shopping bags, these women stop all the way in the middle of the bazaar and engage in "meeting" without concern. Generally, these women come to the market in group form and fetch a good price. The shopkeepers who are used to this bargain, tell the price higher when they see the women and eventually sell the item at the original price after making a discount. Women are happy at the discount and shopkeepers are happy to sell their goods at a better price. Very few buyers from the remote areas of Chakwal come to the city, but those living within a radius of twenty-five kilometers prefer to shop in Chakwal city.

           Anar Kali Market Chakwal Go is small but it always has the special charm of the market. Shopkeepers clamoring to sell their wares, beggars begging on recordings, Pathan boys carrying trays of tea cups here and there, the smell of kebabs and samosas frying, the aroma of pickles and spices, on the footpath and in their own homes. Stalls coming out of shops, the distinctive smell of new clothes, girls talking fast, stubborn children, girls scolding young men and women seriously discussing small issues. There are only two or four old houses left in Anar Kali Bazar, and one of them is the house of Zahid Hasan Faridi, a dervish scholar. Warehouses are usually built on the upper floors of the shops, but some families also live on them. This is unknown that how they live in this house for a long time all day.

         Many memories of my childhood are also connected with the Anar Kali Market of Chakwal. There used to be an audio cassette house called Fine Music Centre. I bought countless audios from this music center. Then it was common to upload requested songs on audios, so we used to upload our favorite songs from here. There used to be a bespectacled, fair-haired shopkeeper here, but I can't remember his name now. A little further there used to be Khawaja Pharmacy, the name of which we often found in the newspaper advertisements in the stockist's box. Reading the name of Khwaja Dawakhana Anar Kali Bazar Chakwal used to feel a sense of security and that's it. Perfume was also found here, so the scented wrappers kept the surrounding pomegranate market fragrant. Asif Sports is still there and I used to visit it occasionally to buy cricket equipment. Among the old shops, apart from Asif Sports, only Hay Al Qayyum General Store and Corner Suites are left.

   Markets are also a reflection of our society. There are many sasta bazar online shopping but what we all are doing and what we are thinking can be well known from common goods found in the market. They are also the center of our culture. Others cities have also some cheap market in Karachi and cheap clothes market in Lahore. Cities grow around markets and markets. The vices and virtues flourishing in society can be seen here. All kinds of people come here, the ignorant and the learned, the rich and the poor, the beggars and the rich. Fashion, people's behavior, habits and traits, overall social progress and decline, improvement or destruction of the country's economy, etc., etc. as if the market is an important tool for judging the society. So sometimes the market must be seen in this context.

If you have a good bike and you are a good hiker then Dhariyala Kahun, One can reach quite close to it by taking a difficult path from the side, from where this masterpiece of nature can be seen at a walking distance of half an hour.

 This place is one of the best places for tourists and for those who love nature, mountains and flowing water. There will be several other places which are still visible I am yet to come... A lot of people from nearby villages had visited this place, but they left their signs in the form of plastic and shopping bags in a very bad way. It is very heartbreaking..... We request the people who visit such places to take their food and drink with them, in the same way, collect this garbage and take it back and dispose of it in a suitable place so that May the natural beauty of such places be preserved.

Swake Lake Khandoa, Chakwal

Glory is to Allah, your power.

Allah Almighty has blessed the land of Chakwal with various places and a different color of nature can be seen at each place. There are a lot of beautiful visiting places in Chakwal and also near this lake. Which is in the forest near village Khandoa in tehsil Kalarkahar of Chakwal and its beauty surpasses all the places in the salt range.
This is the place where I reached for the first time in 2012 with one of my friends and after that the period of seeking nature, in other words wandering started, after that I saw so much that now the name Have to think. Saw twenty such places in Chakwal, Wadi Soon and Jhelum region in the Salt Range but the preference I had before it remained the same as Vesey's and it remains my first love.

This place is the first love for me and that's why whenever I want to go here, I always try to go on a day or time when no one else is here because partners in love are not tolerated and then if This is also the solution to enjoying its true beauty.

Swaik Lake in kalarkahar
Swaik Lake in kalarkahar

This beautiful Swaik Lake is in the forest near Khandua village, 12 km from Kalrakahar tehsil of Chakwal. About one kilometer beyond the village there is a parking facility provided by the locals and beyond that a coal mine near the lake can be reached by motorcycle and jeep and now jeeps also ply from the parking lot to the mine. Are From there it is another one kilometer walk. After which you can see this verdant my dear, filled with water from the springs gushing from the foothills of the mountains. You can spend an enjoyable day at this small lake surrounded by vertical mountains on three sides. When I visited it, no one visited it except the local people, so in those times its beauty was visible, which are now reduced due to the pollution spread around it. If we can control this spreading habit of ours, we can succeed in passing on all such places with all their natural beauty to future generations. It is good that the local people who rent life jackets and collect garbage and burn it, then the situation is better.



In the end, let me tell my friends that one of the important precautions for visiting this place is that you should not come here during the rainy season, because the water falling into the lake from above is not clean during the rainy days, and other such Swimming here is also extremely dangerous. Due to the clearness of the water, even the stones inside it are visible, so its depth is very little to see, but bathing in it without a life jacket is not without danger, so caution is necessary. Because many such accidents have happened here.
We are thankful to Allah that He has put the love of His power in the heart instead of the artificial world.

Hajira, a world of wonder.

"Hajira" an untold story of ancient history in Chakwal.

There is a fascinating diversity of natural beauty in the Photohar region, especially in Chakwal

Some fertile fields, some high limestone mountains, salt mountains, small mud hills, creeks, sandy streams, some green valleys and flowing clear water.

Therefore, what kind of blessings and beauties are offered in a small area, one is left in awe. Apart from the natural scenery, there are also beautiful and unique historical buildings, some of which we know about the history

Famous historical places in Pakistan
Hajira

For example

Temples of Katas, Malut fort, Nandana and Kusak fort etc

But if you go to the valleys of Chakwal, there are quite unique historical buildings available for your viewing pleasure, the authentic history of which we do not know yet, such as Sisi da Clara and Hajira etc.

At a distance of about twenty kilometers from Kallar Kahar, there is a beautiful square roofless historical building known as Hajira on a beautiful mountain peak near Thar Chak village.

There is no grave inside this building yet, but in the past it might have been built as a tomb of a prominent person. About fifty ancient grave markers still exist around this building

Apart from this, on the same mountain, many falahi trees are also seen in certain rows in the style of a garden, which is a unique sight of its own kind.

We do not know the authentic history, but due to the presence of Samarqand Fort nearby, historians hypothesize that this building may have been prepared for the tomb of an important person in the army of the famous Khwarazmi prince Jalaluddin Khwarazmi.The adjacent anonymous graves also belong to the soldiers of the army of the stateless prince Jalaluddin.

Therefore, this beautiful building invites historians 

Apart from Hajira, you will be mesmerized by the mesmerizing view of the rain-fed river flowing down the valley and the forest.And while going from Kallar Kahar to Thar Chak Hajira, the views of the majestic river and beautiful hills also double the enjoyment of this journey and finally the sight of this unique building called Hajira.
