Mahalaxmi Jyotishalaya

Mahalaxmi Jyotishalaya is located in a bit of an unusual spot for this kind of work. We are based in the Chennappa Industrial Estate over in Nagarabhavi Peta, right off Magadi Main Road. Being in an industrial estate means there are a lot of factories and workshops around us making noise. However, inside our small space, we try to keep things a bit more peaceful. We spend our time looking at charts and talking to people who come in with questions about their lives or their families. There is usually some incense burning to help mask the smell of the nearby industrial units. People come from all over Magadi Main Road to sit with us for a bit. We have a few chairs and a small table where we keep our books and papers. It is not a very big room and it can get a bit stuffy when there are several people waiting. We do not have a website or anything like that, we just rely on the people who live and work in Nagarabhavi to stop by. Sometimes the factory owners from the estate come in for a chat during their lunch breaks. We offer a quiet moment in a very busy and loud part of the city. It is just about listening to people and looking at what the old books say about their situations. We have been here for a while and the locals know the door is usually open.
