Motamal Handlooms

We are located right opposite the Dargah Shahvilayat on Rajghat Road. It’s a well-known spot, so most people don't have trouble finding us. We deal with handlooms, which means a lot of fabrics and traditional weaving work. The shop is filled with different materials and finished items piled up. You can smell the cotton and the dyes when you come inside. It is a bit cramped because we try to keep a lot of variety on the shelves. We’ve been on Rajghat Road for quite some time now. The traffic passes by all day long towards the Dargah, so it's a lively spot to be in. We don't have any fancy displays or bright lights. It’s just stacks of cloth and a counter where we measure things out. Sometimes we sit out front when it’s quiet in the afternoons. Dealing with handlooms takes a bit of patience because the patterns and textures vary from one batch to another. We show customers what we have, and they pick what they like for their homes. Most of the people who come in are regulars from the neighborhood or travelers stopping by the Dargah for a visit. We don't really do big marketing; we just open the shutters every morning and wait for people to come in. It’s a slow-paced kind of business compared to the big malls you see nowadays. We take pride in the stuff we carry, even if the shop looks a bit old-fashioned to some.
