THE PRAKAASH COLLECTION

You can find us at Shop E-24 in the Central Market of Lajpat Nagar-II. If you’ve ever been to Lajpat Nagar, you know how busy and crowded it gets. Our shop is right in the middle of all that action. It’s a small space, but we pack a lot into it. We spend most of our time rearranging things to make sure everything fits. The market is always loud with people bargaining and vendors calling out, and that energy carries right into our shop. It’s not the kind of place where you’ll find a lot of peace and quiet, but we like the buzz. The shop has been here for a while and we’ve seen the market change quite a bit over the years. We have a small stool behind the counter where we sit when things slow down, which isn't very often. The lighting is bright because we need to see what we’re doing, and the shelves go all the way up to the ceiling. Sometimes it’s a bit of a struggle to reach the top items, but we keep a small ladder handy. Dealing with the Delhi heat in the summer can be tough, but we have a couple of fans that stay on all day. It’s a simple shop in a famous market, and we just try to keep things organized. Most of our regulars know us by name, which is always nice.
