Banga Laxmi Jewelers

Banga Laxmi Jewelers is located at No. 423 Arun Chakrabarty Road. We’ve been here for years, sitting behind the glass counters and looking at the gold and silver. It is a small shop, but we have a lot of items tucked away in the drawers and safes. The lighting inside is bright so people can see the details of the work. Most of our day is spent cleaning the glass or talking to neighbors who stop in to see what’s new. Arun Chakrabarty Road can be quite crowded, especially during the festival seasons. We see families coming in together, sometimes just to look and other times to pick something out for a special day. We don't use a lot of fancy technology here; we still do many things the old way, with scales and small tools. There is a specific smell to the shop, a mix of metal and the incense we burn in the mornings. It feels familiar and comfortable to us. We have a couple of old chairs for customers to sit on while they wait. The floor is made of stone and stays cool even when it is boiling outside. We aren't looking to expand or anything; we just like being the local jeweler on this street. It’s a steady kind of life, and we wouldn't have it any other way. People know our face and they know where we sit every single day of the week.
