Sri Kaveri Handicrafts Emporium

The shop is called Sri Kaveri Handicrafts Emporium and you can find us at 1877, B.M. Road, right near the Old Tolegate. It’s a big spot, easy to find if you’re driving past. We have been here for a good while, surrounded by all the things we’ve collected and made over the years. The Old Tolegate area is a bit of a landmark, so people usually find us without too much trouble. Inside, the shelves are pretty full. It’s not the most organized place in the world, but we like it that way. There is a lot of dust because of the road outside, so we spend a lot of time wiping things down. We see a lot of people coming through on their way somewhere else. Some stop just to look around and we don't mind that. We aren't trying to be some high-end gallery. It’s just a store on B.M. Road where we sell what we have. Sometimes the heat gets a bit much in the afternoons, so we keep the fans going. It’s mostly just a few of us here every day. We talk to the travelers and the locals alike. Every item has a bit of a story, though we don't always have time to tell them all. It’s just how we make our living. We’ve been part of this neighborhood for years and it feels right to be here in this specific corner of the town.
