Garg Kriyana Store

Our store is situated in Faridkot, specifically in the Shiv Mandir Wali Gali. Being in a lane named after the temple means we hear the bells ringing throughout the day, which is quite nice actually. We are located near the Mai Bohri Fahib area, and the neighborhood is very traditional and close-knit. Garg Kriyana Store is where the locals come for their daily essentials. The shop is tucked away in a narrow street, so it doesn't get much sun, which helps keep the place cool during the hot Punjab summers. We have bags of flour and pulses stacked up against the walls, and the smell of raw grains is always present. We’ve known most of our customers for years, and we often spend more time talking about family and local news than actually selling things. The floor is made of old stone, and it stays cool even when the temperature outside is rising. We don't have any neon signs or flashy displays. Just a simple wooden counter and some old-fashioned scales that we still use from time to time. Managing a kriyana store in Faridkot is about being part of the daily life of the street. We sweep the front every morning and say hello to the people heading to the temple. It is a simple, honest way to spend the day, and we are happy to be a part of this little corner of the world.
