Ladiwala Arts & Crafts

We have been working out of A-14 Laxminarayan Puri for quite a while now. It is situated just outside the Surajpur Gate area, which is always a bit noisy with people and traffic passing through the old city entrance. The shop itself is called Ladiwala Arts & Crafts, and if you come by, you will usually find me or one of the guys sitting among a lot of unfinished pieces and raw materials. It is not a very tidy place to be honest. There is always some dust from the wood or the stones we use. We keep the front door open mostly to let some air in because it gets pretty stuffy inside during the summer months. Laxminarayan Puri is a decent neighborhood, mostly just regular people going about their business. Sometimes we sit on the bench outside when there is no work to do and watch the carts go by toward the gate. We don't have a big team or anything, just a few of us who know how to make things with our hands. We have been in this same spot at A-14 for years, so all the neighbors know us by now. It is just a simple place where we do our work every day from morning until the sun goes down. Most people find us just by asking for the shop near the gate. We don't bother much with fancy signs or decorations because the work speaks for itself.
