The central point of the Inaruwa Bazar is known as Champalal Chowk from where four ways run towards the east (Hospital Area), south (Bihibare side), west (bus stand) and north (Sakhuwa Gachhi). In the main market, we can see many modern stores, departments, banks, cinema hall, hotels, lodges, hospital, temples, Gudri, etc.
Inaruwa is a growing and cheap market, almost of traditional type. But within these last 5–7 years it has seen rapid change, although the local investors are few in number. Market is quite safe here now. The effects of strikes and disturbances are lesser here. But, a few years ago it was totally the reverse. Now, we can say all are in expectation of economic reforms.

There is the much fertile land still available. Large irrigation canals off the Koshi River can be seen here. Animal farms like cow, buffalo, goat farming, poultry has also good market.
The Sunsari River has its own Great Glory with respect to some Hindu scriptures and every year Chhath is performed on the bank of it. The river is thought to be originated from Paduka of SriRama during his visit to Ramdhuni. There are some religiously important temples like Bhagawati Temple, Satyanarayan temple, SriRamanuja Satsangha Aashram, SriSitaRam Temple, SriRadhaKrishna Temple and Shiva Temple.
