starting with SDK30 you are not allowed to create arbitrary directories anymore…
I do not know if we can download or copy something to android/media (probably by using SAF?) but what about downloading or copying your files to shared storage, i.e. /Download or create a subfolder there?

Than how popular apps and other apps also able to create their directory in android 11
The screenshot below is of Android 11 in which you can see Telegram also have their directory.
sorry, I should have said “starting with SDK30 Android restricts accessing the file system, you should not create arbitrary directories anymore”…
you can read more about that here Storage updates in Android 11 | Android Developers
to keep it simple: use the ASD or shared storage like /Download
see also the overview by @bodymindpower
for everything else you have to use SAF which additionally requires permission from the user

As I said before I already used ASD but I want to make user accessible directory which is not deleted after user uninstall the app and the files is showing in gallery also.
And if Android 11 restricted these directory than how other app are able to do it.
As I already said, you can copy / move it (from the ASD) to one of the Shared folders
/Download
/Documents
/Pictures
/DICM
(using one of the file extensions from @Taifun or @vknow360) and then it should be shown in the Gallery and all of these shared folders are accessable by the user.
Can I directly download something to these shared folder by making a sub folder in shared directories instead of copy or cut from asd.
As asd is made for storing confidential files which is restricted from user
You can create subfolders in the Shared folders and move the file(s) from the ASD there.
And how about if you try something on your own and only then ask questions (in case there are problems)?
theoretically it should be possible using the web component
