The name "Mala sheri" is derived from the Hindi word "mala",which means necklace, and "sheri",means street. The market is named because its in necklace-shaped when we see it in plan. Historically, this area was known for celebrating Navratri, and the market was much smaller with fewer shops before an earthquake struck.
After the earthquake,Mala sheri started to expand,and as the once residential area now accommodates many shops. The original residents have moved to nearby societies.
Mala sheri Market is known for its diverse array of vendors, representing various castes and communities, including:
Aaher(Farmers), Jadeja(Rulers), Mistri(Workers), Bhatia(Wealthy community), Satwada(Devi poojak, vegetable sellers), Siddhi, Brahman, and Soni(Gold sellers)
