Mahesh Hardware

Mahesh Hardware has been a fixture here on Kanakapura Road for quite a while now. We are tucked in near the Yediyur Terminus in Basavanagudi, so it’s easy to find us if you’re coming by the city bus. If you’re driving your own vehicle, we are close to the Vaibhava Hotel, which is where most people stop for a quick breakfast before coming in to see us. The shop is filled with all sorts of things, from small nails and screws to much bigger tools and equipment. It’s a bit crowded in here because we try to keep a bit of everything in stock for the locals. You might have to wait a minute while I dig through a box to find the exact size of bolt or washer you’re looking for. It gets a bit noisy with the bus terminal right there, but we like the energy of the area. We’ve known most of our customers for many years; they are mostly local builders or people trying to fix something broken in their own homes. We don't have a website or anything like that, we just open the doors in the morning and see who comes in through the day. Sometimes it’s a bit dusty because of the ongoing road work nearby, but that’s just how it is in this city. We try to keep the prices where they should be and just talk straight about what will work and what won't. It’s just me and a couple of others helping out most days, making sure the shelves stay somewhat organized amidst the clutter. We have been here so long we feel like part of the street.
