Bohra Marble & Granites

Our place, Bohra Marble & Granites, is tucked away at 17/4 Adugodi on Bannergatta Road. It’s right behind the Mico Factory, which is a big landmark for anyone trying to find us. The yard is usually full of big slabs of stone leaning against each other. When it rains, the ground gets a bit muddy, but that’s just how it is when you’re working with heavy granite. We spend our days showing people the different patterns and colors in the stone. It’s funny how everyone looks at the same piece of marble and sees something different. The dust from cutting and polishing gets everywhere, so we’re always wiping down our desks. It’s a heavy job, literally. We use cranes and a lot of muscle to move these pieces around. The traffic on Bannergatta Road is pretty bad most of the time, so we hear the honking all day long. We aren't a big corporate setup, just a local spot where we keep a lot of stock. Sometimes we sit out front when it’s quiet and just watch the trucks go by. People come from all over the city because they know we’ve been here behind the factory for years. We don't have a polished showroom, just the slabs and a small office where we write out the bills. It’s honest work and the stone is beautiful if you look closely. We just enjoy the process of seeing a raw slab go to someone's home.
