Sri Rajeswari Bangles Stores

Sri Rajeswari Bangles Stores is located at No. 6 1st Lane on Big Valayalkara Street. It’s a narrow lane, and it can be easy to miss if you aren't looking for it. The store is small and filled with rows and rows of bangles in every color you can think of. They are made of glass, metal, and plastic. When the wind blows through the door, you can hear them clinking against each other. It’s a very specific sound. We spend our time sorting them by size and making sure nothing is broken. Big Valayalkara Street is known for these kinds of shops, so there is always a bit of a buzz in the air. We don’t have a big staff, just a couple of us who know where everything is kept. The shelves go all the way up to the ceiling, so we often have to use a ladder to reach the top boxes. It’s a dusty job sometimes. We don't have any air conditioning, just a small fan that wobbles a bit. People come in looking for something to match an outfit for a wedding or a festival. We just show them what we have in the boxes. It isn't a modern shopping mall experience. It's just a traditional shop in an old part of town. We keep things simple and just focus on the bangles we have in stock. Every evening we pack up the loose pieces and lock the heavy wooden door.
