Field Observations

The image displays a small, traditional sweet shop named “Rajbari Mishtanno Bhandar” located on a roadside in Madaripur. The storefront is painted bright red, with a prominent sign in Bengali and a green corrugated tin awning. A vertical banner and a smaller poster advertise the shop’s products, which include various types of sweets and yogurt. Inside, a glass display case holds the sweetmeats. The shop has a simple, open-front design typical of local businesses in the area. A man in a blue shirt stands near the entrance, and the front of a blue vehicle is visible in the foreground, suggesting a location with vehicle access. The overall impression is of a functional, community-focused establishment.
