Nandlal Chularam Provision Stores & Grain Marchant

Nandlal Chularam Provision Stores & Grain Marchant is located at Shop No 88-89 in the Anaj Mandi area near Madar Gate in Parao. Being in the grain market means things are always moving. You see a lot of sacks being carried around on people's backs and carts being pushed through the narrow lanes. We deal with a lot of grains—wheat, bajra, different kinds of dals. We sell in smaller quantities too, not just the big bags. The shop has been in the family since Nandlal and Chularam’s time. It’s an old building, and you can see the age in the walls and the heavy wooden doors. There’s always a bit of dust in the air because of the grain, but that’s normal for a mandi. We have two shops joined together, so there’s a bit more room than some of the other places nearby. We spend a lot of time weighing things out on the scales. It has to be done carefully. People come from all over the Parao area because they know we have a good variety of pulses that you might not find in the smaller corner shops. It gets very busy during the harvest season. Sometimes we don't even have time to sit down for lunch until late in the afternoon. We don’t do any fancy packaging, just plain bags. It’s more about what’s inside than what the bag looks like.
