The Bazaars took 5 to 8 days during the [[Norouz]] (New Year) festival. Emperor [[Humayun]] was the first to organize them, but [[Akbar]] and his successors made them more elaborate. The fair was closed for the public, while the women of the [[harem]] and the wives and daughters of the noblemen in the court, set up their own stalls to sell cloth, jewellery, handicrafts etc. Only the emperor, princes and some nobles were allowed to enter the bazaar to purchase the goods, which were sold at high prices. The earnings were given for charity.<ref>Mukherjee, Soma (2001). pp. 102-103.</ref>
