burrabazar
Burrabazar (also spelt Bara Bazar) is a neighbourhood in central Kolkata, earlier known as Calcutta, in the Indian state of West Bengal. It is an assembly constituency. Burrabazar expanded from a yarn and textile market into the commercial nucleus of Kolkata and one of the largest wholesale markets in India.〔Sinha, Pradip, ''Calcutta and the Currents of History, 1690–1912'', in ''Calcutta, the Living City'', Vol. I, edited by Sukanta Chaudhuri, p. 33, Oxford University Press, ISBN 978-0-19-563696-3.

==Etymology==
Burrabazar ((ヒンディー語: बडा बजार)) is a Hindi word meaning big market. In Bengali, it is called Barobazar, ((ベンガル語:বড় বাজার)), the meaning remaining same. However, there is another theory. The neighbourhood was earlier named after ‘Buro’, the popular name of Shiva. The Hindi-speaking merchants who ousted the earlier local merchants, made it ‘Bara’.〔Nair, P. Thankappan in ''The Growth and Development of Old Calcutta'', in ''Calcutta, the Living City'', Vol. I, pp. 16–17〕
