Narayana Handicrafts

Narayana Handicrafts is situated at 208 Santosh Sagar Colony on Brahmpuri Road. It’s a bit off the main path, but that makes it quieter for us. We deal with various items, mostly things made by hand. The workspace is usually covered in dust and bits of material. There’s no big showroom here, just a lot of boxes stacked up against the walls. We spend most of our time packing things or checking what came in from the makers. It’s a small family type of setup. My uncle started this a long time ago and we just kept it going. Brahmpuri Road can get really crowded during the festivals, so getting stuff moved in and out becomes a bit of a chore. We have a small radio that stays on most of the day, playing old songs. The floor is concrete and we have these heavy wooden tables that have seen better days. We don't really have a website or anything like that. We just talk to people face to face or on the phone. Sometimes customers come in just to see what’s new, and we show them around the piles. It’s a bit messy, honestly, but we know where everything is. We just focus on the work at hand. It’s not a fancy business. It’s just what we do every day to get by. Santosh Sagar Colony is a good place to be based. We like it here in this corner of the city.
