The word bazaar might also be confusing, so let's just say it's a kind of open market.
So, we have a boy who rushes into that market and finds him self in a hall around which is a gallery with lots of empty, closed stalls.
That can be enough to infer the meaning of the word "girded" which is "surrounded", "encompassed" or "encircled".
