About 70%–80% of the area residents are Bengali Hindus. Rest being Muslims. The area belonged to the Shankhari Community, who borrowed their name from Shankha, a decorated bangle crafted from slices of Shankha or conch shells. Shankha is the symbol that indicates that a Hindu woman is married. The Shankhari people are an artisan caste.

Every year people from all parts of Dhaka visit the old town to celebrate the festival of Holi.
