Patanjali Ayurvedic Sanstha

Patanjali Ayurvedic Sanstha is located right behind Bhid Chowk. If you know Bhid Bazar in Kutch, then you know it’s a very active part of town. There is always noise from the market and people moving about with their daily shopping. Our shop is filled with all sorts of ayurvedic things like juices, powders, and oils. It has that specific herbal smell that you only get in places like this. We have rows of shelves that we try to keep stocked, though sometimes things run out faster than we expect. People come in from all over Kutch looking for traditional stuff to help them feel a bit better. We aren't a big fancy store. It’s just a regular shop where we talk to the neighbors and help them find what they need on the shelves. Sometimes we sit outside when it’s not too hot and watch the people go by in the bazar. It’s a local business through and through. We don't have a big marketing plan or anything. We just open the doors early and stay until the evening. The floor is tiled and we spend a fair bit of time sweeping out the dust that blows in from the street. It’s a simple life here in the market. Most of our customers have been coming to us for years and we know their names and what they usually buy for their families.
