In our very busy lives, there are things that barely get noticed. Things which hold the utmost importance that we fail to comprehend. One of these things, which we commonly use in our everyday life, is a ‘bottle’.

A Bottle holds a unique versatility in its usage. It can be used for containment purposes, for art, or like in the ancient times it was used to communicate messages. We can also say that a bottle can be used as a medium of communication. It tells us about our past, how we lived, and what kind of thinking we had during that period. This is one of the reasons why people in my city are passionate of colleting bottles.

This space tells a lot about culture. Botal Gali is a place, which undergoes a lot of transformation during different eras and occasions. Be it the holy month of Ramadan or festivities of light like Eid, this gali is always decorated by using various shape and sizes of bottles.

There is this one shopkeeper who is around the age of 70 and he was not willing to talk to people about his past and what he has experienced here in Botal Gali, and on the other hand there were some very friendly and inviting shopkeepers who really wanted to tell us more about this place.

Unfortunately, the main bottle market is shutting down due to the new itar industry that has been introduced to the market, which is replacing the old market.

Botal gali stands as a symbol of our heritage that needs to be protected.
