Pt Rajandra Prashad Halwai

I’ve been working at Pt Rajandra Prashad Halwai for a long time now. We are located at Nala Bazar Purani Mandi 15/17. It’s a busy spot and the address is easy to find once you are in the market area. We don’t have a big fancy office or a marketing team. It’s just us and the large iron kadhais we use for frying every single morning. The shop is old, and the walls have seen a lot of soot over the years from the fires. We start our day before the sun is even up. That is when the milkman brings the cans, and we have to start boiling everything down. It is hot work, especially in the summer months when the air in Nala Bazar gets thick. We make the standard sweets that everyone in Purani Mandi expects. Nothing is too fancy here. We don't have a website and we don't really do the social media stuff. People just walk in because they know the name and they know we are at 15/17. Sometimes the floor is a bit sticky and the crowd gets impatient when we are busy, but that’s just how a halwai shop works. We try to keep up with the orders, especially during the festival times when things get really crazy. It’s a simple business, really. We just focus on getting the sugar and the textures right for the customers who have been coming to us for years and years. We aren't doing anything special, just this daily work in the bazar.
