The road on which Koocha-i-Saqafat was held was divided into three parts. Those who came from the Arts Council roundabout first entered the art centre where paintings, specimen of calligraphy and sculptures were on display. The second section of Koocha-i-Saqafat comprised a book bazaar where a few booksellers offered huge discounts – up to 33 per cent – on sale of new books. Second-hand books were also available. Furniture-makers and artisans sold their wares at the third section of Koocha-i-Saqafat. Foodstuffs were also on sale.
