We went to look around the big bazaar.  I found very nice fine paintings called  miniatures.

There were also metal (brass ad copper )  plates with interesting patterned work.  Mostly, the workmanship was not so fine but the fine ones made by skilled handicrafts  are very nice and costly, which I did not think to buy.

Around the square area in front of  Shah's Mosque at night, there were  students studying  to prepare for their exams almost all night long. They took advantage of the light all around for reading.
