Sri Benaka Fancy Gifts & Books

Sri Benaka Fancy Gifts & Books is located at 17 and 18 in the Hanumantha Arcade. We are right on the 60 Feet Road, which is part of the Pattegarpalya Main Road in Vijaya Nagar. Our shop is a bit of a mix because we sell both books and fancy gift items. You’ll find school notebooks, pens, and pencils on one side, and then things like decorative lights or gift wraps on the other. It’s a good spot for students who live in the Vijaya Nagar area. They often come in after school to get their supplies. The arcade is a nice place to be because it’s a bit more organized than the street shops. We have two units, 17 and 18, so there is a fair amount of space for people to walk around and look at things. We try to keep the popular books in stock, but sometimes we run out of the ones the teachers ask for. We’ve been here for a few years now and have a lot of regular customers from the nearby houses. It’s a family-run kind of thing, and we take turns staying at the counter. On festivals or school starting dates, it gets really busy and we have to move fast. Most of the time, though, it’s just a steady flow of people looking for a gift or a new book to read. We also have cards near the front.
