Shree Krishna Marbles

Down here in Bhagwanda on the side of NH8, things stay pretty steady at Shree Krishna Marbles. We aren't doing anything too complicated, just buying and selling marble like everyone else in this part of the country. The yard is usually full of slabs that we've brought in from the nearby quarries. You can see the white dust on everything because that's just part of the job. We spend most of our hours walking between the rows of stone, checking for any chips or bad spots. It gets really hot in the middle of the day, so we take breaks when we can. It’s not a corporate setup at all, just a few of us making sure the orders get loaded correctly onto the trucks. We see a lot of people passing by on the highway, and sometimes they pull over just to see what kind of patterns we have in the yard. We don't have any big signs or fancy lights. Most of the time, the stone speaks for itself. It’s heavy work, and our hands are always rough from touching the cold marble, but it’s what we know. We’ve been at this spot for years and the locals know where to find us. Just look for the stacks of white stone right off the main road in Bhagwanda. We’ll be out there moving slabs and talking to the drivers while the sun sets.
