Maruthi Herbal

We’ve been here at 24, Kumaran Koil Street in Cuddalore Old Town for a good while now. It’s a busy spot, especially with the temple nearby. Most days start early for us, getting the shop ready and checking on the stocks of different herbs and roots we keep. People around here know the place well. It’s not a fancy setup, just a regular shop where we try to keep everything organized. Sometimes the dust from the street gets in, but that’s just how it is in this part of town. We spend a lot of time sorting through things and making sure everything is labelled right. It’s mostly just a few of us working here. We talk to the regulars who come in looking for specific things they’ve used for years. It’s a quiet kind of work, really. Cuddalore Old Town has a lot of history, and we feel like a small part of that. There’s always someone stopping by to ask a question or just to see what’s new on the shelves. We don't have a big office or anything like that. Just the counter and the storage space in the back. Sometimes the shipments arrive late, and we have to stay a bit longer to get everything put away. It's just a normal business running day to day. We try to keep things simple and honest with everyone who walks through the door.
