Somnath General Store

Somnath General Store is situated right at Pani Darwaza. It is an old part of town and the shop reflects that. We have been here for quite a while now, selling everything from soap to stationery and basic household items. The building is old and the walls are thick, which helps keep it a bit cooler in the summer. We don't have a lot of space, so we have to be clever about how we stack the boxes. Most of our customers are people who have lived in this area their whole lives. We see the same people every day and we know their families. It is a simple way of living. We spend our time checking what is in stock and talking to the people who stop by for a chat. We don't have a website or any of that stuff; we just rely on people knowing where we are. The area around Pani Darwaza has a lot of history, and we feel like a small part of that history ourselves. Sometimes we run out of things and have to tell people to come back tomorrow, and they usually don't mind. It is a relaxed atmosphere despite being a business. We just take things as they come and try to keep the shop running smoothly for everyone. When evening comes and the lights come on in the street, we start packing things away and getting ready to do it again tomorrow morning.
