Shree Mahalaxmi Ceramics

Village Balinga is where we have been set up for quite some time now. Our shop, Shree Mahalaxmi Ceramics, sits right here in the Balinga post office area. It is mostly just a place filled with rows of tiles and stacks of ceramic goods. We spend most of our days helping people from the neighborhood pick out things for their bathroom floors or kitchen walls. It is not a fancy showroom with bright lights and coffee machines. Instead, it is a practical space where there is usually a bit of dust on the floor from moving inventory around. My brother and I handle most of the heavy lifting ourselves. We have seen this village grow and change over the years, and it keeps us busy as more houses go up. Sometimes the deliveries from the big trucks are late because of the narrow roads, but we just make do. We keep a lot of stock in the back room because folks around here usually want to take their tiles home the same day they buy them. It is honest work and we do not do much talking unless it is about the stock we have on hand. In the afternoons, when it gets really hot, we usually just sit outside for a bit until the next customer comes by. We do not have a big website or a marketing plan. We just open the doors every morning and see what the day brings us.
