Anokhi Sarees (Albeli Saree)

We've been at this spot on Jaipur Road near Balaji House for a long time. People around Purani Mandi know us well. Anokhi Sarees, or Albeli Saree as some folks call us, is just a regular shop where we keep a lot of different patterns. My family runs this place. It gets pretty busy on the weekends when everyone is out shopping on Purani Mandi Road. We don't have fancy lights or anything, just rows of clothes on the shelves. Sometimes the traffic outside gets loud because we are so close to the main road. If you're walking past Balaji House, you can't really miss us. We just sit here and help people find what they need for weddings or just daily wear. It’s a simple setup. Most of our regulars are neighbors from around the area. We try to keep things organized but sometimes when it's crowded, it gets a bit messy with all the fabric out. That's just how it is in a local saree shop. We know most of the people who come in by their first names. It’s nice being part of the community here. The shop hasn't changed much over the years, and we like it that way. We just keep doing what we do every day. It's a lot of work folding everything back up after a long day, but it’s okay. We are usually here from morning until the sun goes down.
