Meenakshi Silk Emporium

If you are trying to find Meenakshi Silk Emporium, you need to head down to Avenue Road. We are specifically located at 38/S-2 on the 7th Cross. The shop is up on the second floor of Maruthi Avenue. A really easy way to spot the building is to look for Banaras Sweets, since we are right opposite that place. The shop is usually packed with different kinds of silk fabrics. We spend a lot of our time folding and showing these materials to anyone who walks in. Avenue Road is always very crowded and noisy, so it is often a bit of a struggle to walk through the crowds to get here. Being on the second floor is actually nice because it stays a little bit quieter than the busy street down below. We have piles of different patterns and colors stacked up on the shelves. Sometimes it feels like we are running out of room for all the new stock that comes in. It is a family-run place and we do not have any fancy displays or bright lights. We just have our simple counters and shelves. People usually come in looking for something special for a wedding or a big family function. We just show them whatever we have available at the time. It can get a bit dusty with all the loose threads and fabric around, but we try to keep it as tidy as we can. The 7th Cross is a narrow and busy little lane. We have been in Maruthi Avenue for many years now.
