Patanjali Swadeshi Products

Our shop is located in Ramrajatala, specifically on Mahendra Bhattarjee Road. If you are looking for us, we are right near the big water tank. Most people in Howrah 711104 use that tank as a landmark, so it’s hard to miss. We carry Patanjali Swadeshi Products and the shelves are usually packed to the ceiling. It’s a bit of a squeeze when we get a new delivery and have to find room for all the boxes. The floor is concrete and we have a simple counter where we stand most of the day. The street outside can get very dusty, especially when it hasn’t rained in a while. We spend a lot of time dusting off the bottles and packets. It’s just two or three of us working here. We start early in the morning by sweeping the front and opening the heavy metal shutters. Throughout the day, neighbors come in to buy their daily essentials for the kitchen or bathroom. We don't have any fancy computer systems or anything like that. We just write things down and give people their change. It’s a very traditional way of doing things, but it works for us. In the evenings, the area gets quite lively with people out for walks. We stay open late enough to catch the after-work crowd. It’s a simple life running a shop on Mahendra Bhattarjee Road near the tank.
