Durga Prasad

This is Durga Prasad’s shop located in Kirana Patti, Jharia. We are specifically in the Sona Patti area of Dhanbad. This part of town is known for being a bit busy and sometimes quite dusty because of the surroundings. We deal in kirana goods, mostly the stuff people use in their kitchens every day. The shop has been here in Jharia for a good amount of time. It is a simple place with a lot of heavy sacks of grain and pulses stacked against the walls. We don't have any fancy signage or bright lights. It’s just a traditional store where we spend our days weighing out portions for the local families. The Sona Patti area is a hub for this kind of trade, so there is always a lot of loading and unloading going on in the streets. We start our day early to get the shop ready before the sun gets too high. The air in Dhanbad can be heavy, but we just keep the fan going and get on with the work. The address is 826001, right in the heart of the market. We don’t try to be anything we aren’t. It’s a basic business where we know our customers and they know us. Sometimes the inventory is a bit messy, but we know exactly where everything is stored. It’s just honest work in a busy market.
