Dharti Dhan Marble

Working in the Ricco Industrial Area in Kishangarh means living with white dust everywhere. It gets on your shoes, your clothes, and even inside the tea cups. We have been here for quite some time now, surrounded by slabs of stone and the sound of cutting machines. It is a loud place and the sun can be really unforgiving in the afternoons. Our office is just a simple space at the front of the yard. We don't have any air conditioning, just a few ceiling fans that move the hot air around. We spend our days looking at blocks of stone and talking to the workers. There are no fancy brochures or sales pitches here. We just show people what we have in the yard and they decide for themselves. Most of our neighbors are doing the same thing, so we all know each other. It is a hard way to earn a living, but it is what we know. We don't really use the internet for much, mostly just for basic things. People usually just show up and walk through the aisles of marble to see what catches their eye. We try to keep things organized, but in a busy yard, things always end up a bit messy. It’s just the nature of the business. We take pride in just being here every day and doing the work. We just handle the blocks and the slabs as they come in from the quarries.
