Mout Victoriya Granite

If you drive out on Devgarh Road in Lalitpur, you’ll find us at 412/1. It’s a bit of a trek from the main town center, but that’s where the space is for all this granite. The rocks we handle at Mout Victoriya Granite are incredibly heavy, so we spend a lot of time with the heavy lifting gear. Lalitpur is known for its stone, and we’re just one part of that whole scene. The sun gets really hot out here on Devgarh Road, and there isn’t much shade once you’re out in the yard. We mostly just wear hats and try to stay hydrated while we move the slabs around. The workshop is mostly open to the air, which helps with the dust but doesn't do much for the heat. We don't have any big corporate structure; it’s just the owner and a handful of workers who know how to handle stone without breaking it. Sometimes we have tea together under the small porch when it’s too hot to work. People come from all over to look at the different grains and colors of the granite. We don't have a showroom with fancy lights, just the natural sunlight showing the real color of the stone. It’s hard work on the back and the hands, but there’s something satisfying about seeing a huge block of stone get turned into something useful. We just keep doing what we know, day in and day out.
