Ridhima Karyana Store

Our store is tucked away in Kharori Village, right in the Sirhind Tehsil area. We are positioned pretty close to the Punjab National Bank, which is handy because people often walk over to grab a few things after they finish their banking. It is a small shop, the kind of place where the shelves are packed tight with everything from lentils and spices to soap and notebooks. We don't have those fancy scanners or bright neon lights you see in the big city markets. Instead, we use a simple counter and we know where every single item is kept, even if it looks a bit cluttered to an outsider. Most of our customers are our neighbors who live just down the street, so we spend a lot of time chatting about village news while we weigh out sugar or flour. Sometimes the delivery trucks block the narrow road when they are bringing in new stock, and we have to hurry to get everything inside so traffic can move again. It can get dusty being near the road, and we are constantly wiping down the jars and packets. On hot afternoons, the fan above the counter barely does much, but we stay open regardless. It is just a regular life running a karyana store, making sure people have what they need for their kitchens without making a big fuss about it. We are just here every day, opening up early and staying until the sun goes down.
