Big Bazar (বড় বাজার) is the main commercial hub of Kushtia city.[1][2][3] A traditional market called 'Rajar Hat' is held here twice a week. This market is over two hundred years old. During the British colonial period, the market developed around Rajar Hat, Mohini Mills, Tagore Lodge, and the Kushtia railway station.[4]
