Zindabazar is a prominent neighborhood in the Sylhet city of Bangladesh. It is known for being an important tourist destination.[1][2]

Etymology

The name is derived from the Sufi Muslim religious figure Zindapir (the name means 'alive saint'), who is said to be buried here. The Bengali word 'Zindabazar' translates to 'alive market'.[3]

Geography

Zindabazar is a primarily residential area which spans over an area of 381.30 ha (942.2 acres), of which 24.1 ha (60 acres) are water bodies.[4]

523.9 hectares (55.6%) of Zindabazar's area is used for residential purposes, 93.08 ha (9.8%) for commercial purposes, 71.32 ha (7.57%) for transportation and communication purposes, 68.87 ha (7.31%) as vacant land, 39.96 ha (4.24%) for administrative purposes, and 17.21 ha (1.83%) for educational institutions.
