Avinash Provision Store

At Avinash Provision Store in Alandi Devachi, things are usually moving at a steady pace. We have been in this same spot for many years, right on the path where people walk toward the main temple area. Because of that, the air in the shop often smells like the incense and spices we keep near the entrance. We stock everything a regular home might need, including various grains, lentils, and cooking oils. We also keep a small corner for school supplies since there are many students in this part of Alandi Devachi. The stone floor is quite old and has been worn smooth by all the people coming in and out over the decades. We don't have a large team working here, usually just me and one helper when it gets extra busy during the local festivals. When there is a big religious event in town, the streets get very crowded and our little shop stays packed from dawn until late at night. We don't really do formal customer service; we just treat everyone like a neighbor. If a regular customer is short on cash, we just note it down in our book and they pay us back later. It’s a very traditional way of doing business. We keep our doors open until late because you never know when someone might realize they ran out of salt or need a new light bulb. That's just how we do things here every day.
