Apsara Kesh Kala

Navrangpura is a busy part of Ahmedabad and we are right in the middle of it at Apsara Kesh Kala. Our shop is number 006, located in the basement of Gokul Complex. Being in the basement means it stays a bit cooler in the summer months which is nice for us and the people who come in. We are on Stadium Road, which everyone knows. If you are driving around, look for the Sardar Patel Bavla statue, we are quite close to that landmark. Also, we are directly opposite Maharaj Samosa. You can often smell the food cooking from across the street when the wind is right. It makes us hungry in the afternoon. The complex has other shops too but being in the basement gives us a quiet corner. We have the usual chairs and mirrors set up inside. It is a humble place, nothing too decorative. People in the 380009 area know this building well. We open up the shutters every morning and get things ready. Sometimes the stairs down to the basement are a bit steep so you have to watch your step. We have been in this spot for some time now. Navrangpura has changed a lot but Gokul Complex is still here. We spend most of our day inside under the lights. It’s just how we earn our living, one day at a time. It’s a simple shop in a very busy neighborhood.
