Shanti Granites

We’ve been here at No. 230 in Kamalapuri Colony for a while now. Most people find us because we’re near Srinagar Colony and it’s a pretty central spot for anyone looking at stone. Shanti Granites isn't a fancy showroom or anything like that. It’s mostly just us and the slabs we have out. The yard gets a bit dusty when the wind picks up, but that’s just how it is with granite. We spend our days moving these heavy pieces around and making sure they don’t crack. It’s hard work on the back. People come by to look at the patterns in the rock. Some days are slow and we just sit and watch the traffic go past the gate. Other days, we’re busy with the crane moving things onto trucks. We know the neighbors around here well. It’s a good community. We keep the place open during the day and usually close up when the light goes. There’s no big sign with lights, just the address and our name. We mostly deal with local builders and homeowners who walk in. The stone comes in from different places and we just keep it here until someone needs it for their floor or a kitchen. It’s a simple way to make a living. We don't do much talking, mostly just showing the pieces we have in stock. If you’re around the colony, you’ve probably seen the yard. It's a plain place but it serves the purpose for what people need.
