Siddhivinayak

You can find Siddhivinayak at Nehru Chowk in the Mahagaon area. We are in Gadhinglaj, which is part of the Kolhapur district. A good way to find us is to look for the Hanuman Mandir, as we are right near it. You can often hear the bells from the temple throughout the day. Our shop is just a regular building on the corner. The streets around Nehru Chowk are usually filled with people and bikes. We spend a lot of time just standing at the front and dealing with whatever comes up. Being in Kolhapur, it can get quite hot, so we appreciate the shade we get in the late afternoon. Inside, it’s not very big, but we have enough space for what we need. We aren’t interested in looking like a big corporation. We’re just local people working in our own town. The furniture is a bit old and the ceiling fan makes a clicking noise, but we don’t mind it much. People stop by to talk about the weather or local news while they’re out doing their errands. It’s a very community-focused spot because of the location near the temple and the chowk. We just open up every morning and see who drops by. There’s always something to do, whether it’s cleaning the front or sorting through some papers. It’s a quiet life but we stay busy enough. We’ve been here for a while and don't plan on moving.
