New Market, Dhaka, Traditional marketplace in Azimpur, Bangladesh.

The New Market spans 35 acres and features three high arched entry gates, forming a triangular layout with spaces for 440 retail establishments.

The marketplace was constructed between 1952 and 1954 under East Bengal Chief Minister Nurul Amin to serve residents of University of Dhaka and surrounding areas.

The central shopping district incorporates both covered market halls and outdoor vendor spaces, reflecting traditional Bangladeshi commerce methods and social interactions.

The market operates daily with peak activity during weekends, offering products from clothing and electronics to household items and traditional handicrafts.

During the 1980s, the complex expanded with specialized sections including Bonolata for kitchen items and New Super Market for crockeries.
