Dina Nath Jai Prakash

The business known as Dina Nath Jai Prakash is located at 6626 in Khari Baoli. If you have ever been to Khari Baoli, you know it is the heart of the spice trade and it is incredibly crowded. The air is always thick with the smell of dried chilies, turmeric, and other spices, which can make you sneeze if you are not used to it. Our shop is a traditional one, with high ceilings and heavy wooden doors that we pull shut every night. We have been here for a long time, and the name on the sign is one that people recognize in this market. We spend our days weighing out goods and talking to customers who come from all over the city. It is a very hands-on job and our clothes usually end up smelling like spices by the time we go home. The floor is often covered in a bit of dust from the sacks of grain or spices being moved around. We don't have fancy computers to do our work; we still use old-style notebooks to keep track of what we buy and sell. The street outside is so narrow that trucks can barely pass, and there is always a lot of shouting from the laborers. It is a chaotic place to work, but it has a rhythm that we are very comfortable with. We just focus on our daily tasks at 6626 and keep the shop running as it always has.
