Gopal Pan Bhandar

Gopal Pan Bhandar is a small spot located at Maligaon Chariali in Guwahati. We are right on A T Road, across from the Sonaram Market. This is a very active part of the city. We have been here at this corner for quite a while. Our main thing is pan, but we also keep some cigarettes, matches, and small candies. It’s not a big shop, just a small counter really. We see hundreds of people walk past every single day. Some stop for a quick chat and their usual pan. The street outside is always full of buses and rickshaws. It can get very dusty, so we are always wiping down the counter. We don't have any seats or anything. People just stand, get what they want, and go. We know the preferences of our regulars, like how much lime or supari they want. It’s a simple business. We open up early and stay until the street gets quiet at night. In 781011, everyone knows this crossing. We don't have any big signs, just our name and the smell of fresh betel leaves. It’s just a small part of the Maligaon area. We don't need much space to do our work. It’s just us, serving the people who pass by Sonaram Market every day. We keep things quick and easy for everyone.
