Shri Ram Bartan Bhandar

You can find us at A-73 in Murlipura Shiv Nagar. We’ve been here at Shri Ram Bartan Bhandar for quite a few years. The shop is filled with all kinds of utensils, from the big steel pots to the small copper spoons. It’s a lot of metal to keep clean, so we spend a good chunk of the morning just dusting the shelves. The street outside is a bit narrow, so things get crowded when the delivery truck shows up. We know most of the people living around here, and they stop by when they need something new for their kitchen or a gift for a family wedding. My nephew helps me out during the busy season when everyone is buying sets of plates. It gets pretty noisy inside when someone accidentally knocks over a stack of thalis, but that’s just how it is. We don’t have any of those big flashing signs or a website to show off what we have. People just walk in and look around. Sometimes we sit on the stools near the entrance and talk to the neighbors about the weather while we wait for customers. It’s a comfortable life and the shop feels like a second home to us. We just keep the inventory stocked and try to make sure the accounts are mostly correct at the end of every week.
