Bhartiya Tantuvadya Kendra

Bhartiya Tantuvadya Kendra is located on Late Farid Saheb Sitarmaker Road in Sangli. This street has a lot of history behind it, especially with the name. Sangli itself is a place where traditions seem to stick around. Our workshop is a modest one. It’s been here for many years, and not much has changed inside. We deal with string instruments, and you can see them hanging on the walls or sitting on the floor in various stages of being fixed. There’s always the smell of old wood and polish in the air. We don’t have a big staff. It’s mostly just a couple of us who know how to handle the instruments. The road outside is narrow and can get quite dusty. We don’t get a lot of foot traffic, but the people who come here usually know exactly what they’re looking for. It’s quiet work. You have to be patient with the wood and the strings. We don’t have a fancy sign or a polished storefront. The name Bhartiya Tantuvadya Kendra is painted on the door. It’s a bit faded now, but everyone knows it’s us. We don’t spend money on advertising or anything like that. Word of mouth is usually enough in a place like Sangli. We just open up in the morning and see what the day brings. It’s a slow pace of life, and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
