Shree Asotara Marbles & Granite

Shree Asotara Marbles & Granite is our business, and we are located in Badarda on N. H. 8. We deal with all sorts of stone, and the yard is usually packed with different colors and textures. Badarda is a place where you see a lot of this kind of work. Being on the highway makes it easy for the big trailers to pull in and out. We spend a lot of time out there in the dirt, checking the quality of the granite and marble that comes in. It’s a tough job because the slabs are so heavy and you have to be really careful not to break them. The sun in Rajasthan doesn't make it any easier, but we are used to it by now. We usually have a pot of tea going in the small shade we have. People driving by stop in to see what we’ve got in stock. We don't do much advertising; we just have our name on the wall and our stone out in the open. It’s a lot of physical labor, and your boots are always covered in stone slurry. We like the variety of patterns that come through here. Every block is a little bit different, and that’s what makes the work interesting. We just stay here in Badarda, doing the same thing day after day, keeping the yard running and the stone moving.
