Arya De Hatti

Down in the middle of Khari Baoli, you’ll find Arya De Hatti. We are located at 6656/2 in the New Garodia Market. If you’ve never been to Khari Baoli, it’s a whirlwind of smells and colors because of all the spices and dry fruits. Our shop is right in the thick of it. It’s a small space, packed with bags and boxes from floor to ceiling. We spend our days weighing out items and talking to customers who have been coming to us for years. The narrow lanes are always full of laborers carrying heavy sacks on their backs. It’s a very old way of doing business, but it works for us. We don’t have much room to move around, but we know where everything is kept. The air is thick with the scent of cardamom and chilies, which makes some people sneeze when they first walk in. We don't do much in terms of modern marketing. Most of our business comes from people who know the quality of what we have on the shelves. It’s noisy, dusty, and very crowded, but there’s a certain rhythm to it that we like. We’ve been part of this market for a long time and seen a lot of changes, but our little corner stays pretty much the same. We just show up, open the shutters, and start the day’s work like everyone else.
