Suryavanshi Handicraft

We are located at 159 in the Shroff Bhavan Building. It’s a sturdy old building near the Fort area, right by the Dreamland Hotel. People often use the hotel as a landmark to find us because our sign isn't the biggest. Inside, it’s a bit of a squeeze because we have so many different pieces tucked away in corners. There’s always a faint smell of wood and cloth in the air here. We spend a lot of time unwrapping items and checking them over before they go out. The floor is usually covered with bits of bubble wrap and tape. It’s not a polished showroom; it’s more like a workshop where things are stored and sorted. The light coming through the windows in Shroff Bhavan is nice in the morning, but it gets a bit dim in the back where we keep the heavier stuff. We know most of the other shopkeepers in the building, and we often chat while waiting for the elevator. It’s a regular routine of answering questions and making sure things are packed tight so nothing breaks. Sometimes tourists wander in by mistake looking for the hotel, and we have to point them back the right way. It’s a quiet enough existence, just focusing on the crafts and the daily tasks of running a shop in this part of town. We just handle the items with care and hope they find a good home where they will be appreciated.
