Alankrit Bandhej Garments

We are located in the Barabhuja Complex at Khandagiri Chowk. This area is usually buzzing with traffic and people going to the nearby sights. Our shop is just one of many in the complex, but we’ve been here long enough that people know where to find the bandhej work. The space is a bit tight with all the fabric rolls and finished garments hanging up. It smells like textiles and sometimes a bit of tea from the stall next door. Working at Khandagiri Chowk means we see a lot of different people every day. We don't have a fancy showroom with bright lights. Most of our time is spent checking the dyes and making sure the patterns look okay. It’s hard work on the fingers, especially with the intricate stuff. We keep the doors open most of the day. Sometimes it gets dusty because of the road, but that's part of being in a busy complex like Barabhuja. We don't have a big staff, just a few of us who know the trade. We just want to do our work and go home to our families. If you are around the chowk, you’ll see our sign. It’s nothing special, just a place where we do what we know. We like the rhythm of the complex and the people who stop by just to chat for a minute. Most days are long, but we enjoy the work we do with the local fabrics.
