Charamgari Alley is one of the most renowned historic markets in Charikar city, the capital of Parwan province. With a history spanning over 700 years, it still retains its traditional form.

Local residents say that although many local products and handicrafts are still made and sold in the market, it no longer has the same vibrancy it once did.

For centuries, professions such as carpentry, agricultural tool-making, knife-smithing, and bird trading have been active in this market.

Mohammad Mirza, one of the shopkeepers, said: "We've been running our business in this market for about fifteen years."

Many elderly residents, most of them from the old part of Charikar, still visit this historic market and share memories of the past with one another.

Fazl Ahmad, a local resident, said: "In the past, this market had cobblers who made various kinds of boots and rubber sandals. There were also many knife-makers here."

Due to its rich historical background, Charamgari Alley in Charikar was registered as one of the official historical sites of Parwan province by the Department of Information and Culture under the previous government.
