U. P. Handloom Carpet House

If you ever find yourself near Vinayak Hospital, you’re pretty much at our doorstep. U. P. Handloom Carpet House is located at Shop No. 1 in Laxmi Palace. This part of Atta Market in Sector 27 is always buzzing with people. There’s a lot of noise from the street and the constant flow of shoppers, but we’ve gotten used to it. The shop is packed from floor to ceiling. We don't have a lot of empty space because the carpets take it all up. Some are rolled up in the corner and others are stacked high. It’s not a polished showroom where everything is under spotlights. It’s a working shop. We spend a lot of time just moving heavy rugs around so people can see the patterns. It’s hard on the back, but it’s what we do. The dust from the textiles is just part of the job. We know the other folks in Laxmi Palace pretty well. It’s a tight-knit group of shopkeepers. We usually have a cup of tea in the afternoon while watching the crowd go by outside. People come in looking for something specific, or sometimes they just want to touch the fabric. We don’t do much in the way of fancy talk. We just show them what’s there. Sector 27 is a lively place to be, and we’re just happy to have our spot in the middle of it all.
