  2. Buying and Selling

    Share Share Post
    In olden times shops were very common in this district, and people had to go to the nearest town to make purchases. Money was not always given for goods. Sometimes labour, stock, and vegetables were given instead of money. Buying and selling was carried out after Mass, but it is not still practiced.
