Siva Sakti Rice Mill

Siva Sakti Rice Mill sits at number 36-12 on G T Road. We are quite close to the Chandra Mahal Theater, which is a big landmark that most people use to find us. Being on G T Road means there is a constant stream of trucks and buses passing by our front door, making the whole place feel very connected to the rest of the region. The mill itself is a noisy place when the machinery is running, with the sound of husking and grinding filling the air. There is always a fine layer of rice dust on the surfaces, which is just part of the job when you work at a rice mill. We don't have any fancy reception area; you just walk in and you are right there where the work happens. Siva Sakti Rice Mill has been operating from this G T Road location for a long time, and the building shows its age in a comfortable, lived-in sort of way. We have a few benches where people can sit while they wait, and the light comes in through the big open doors. It is a practical environment designed for heavy labor rather than for looking good. We start work early in the morning before the heat of the day really sets in, and we stay until the quotas are met. It is just a regular rice mill doing its part in the local economy. We are used to the rumble of the machines and the theater crowd nearby.
