Serr Durga Bhandar

Serr Durga Bhandar is tucked into the AB-AC Market in Salt Lake City, Sector 1. This is part of Bidhan Nagar in Kolkata. We are surrounded by other shops in this market, and it is a lively place to be most days. The name Durga is important to us, and we try to run the shop with that in mind. We mostly deal with grocery items and things you would need for your kitchen pantry at home. The bags of flour and lentils are stacked against the walls in tall piles. It can get a little cramped when a lot of people are inside at once, but we make it work somehow. The pincode for this area is 700064. I have spent many years in this market, seeing children grow up and start coming here to buy their own supplies as adults. We do not have any big advertisements or flashy signs to pull people in. People find us because we have been here a long time and they know what to expect from us. Every morning, we unlock the heavy gates and start sorting through the fresh arrivals of the day. The fans hum overhead to keep the heat away during the humid Kolkata summers. It is hard work, standing all day and lifting heavy sacks, but it is what we do. We are just a regular bhandar serving the local community in Salt Lake. There is nothing corporate about our little store. We just stay here and work hard.
