The Kissa Khwani Bazaar (or 'Market of Story-tellers' ) is famous bazaar of Peshawar, in the North-West Frontier Province of Pakistan. The Kissa Kahani Bazaar or the romantic 'Street of Story-tellers' extends from west to east in the heart of the city of Peshawar. The cosmopolitan character of Kissa Kahani Bazaar is lined with its traditional kehwa khanas, Tikka Kabab, Chapli Kabab and dry fruit shops along with modern show rooms of leather ware and bright coloured garments. In days gone by, the bazaar was the site of camping ground for caravans and military adventures. The professional storytellers recited ballads and tales of war and love to mobs of traders and soldiers. The N.-W.F. Province Gazetteer, traveller Lowell Thomas and Peshawar's British commissioner Herbert Edwardes called it the Piccadilly of Central Asia. Today, the storytellers and the art of story telling have gone but the atmosphere of the bazaar is still the same.
