Adinath General Store

Our shop, Adinath General Store, is located in Hatia, Ranchi. If you are near the Birsa Munda Statue, you are very close to us. We are right in Gammon Galli. It’s a busy little area and we’ve been part of it for a while. Ranchi is our home and we like serving the people here. The store is just a basic general store. We sell things that people need for their houses every day. I get here early to set things up. Sometimes the weather in Jharkhand gets really hot, but we stay open. The address is 834003 if you're writing it down. It’s not a large place, just a room filled with goods. We try to keep it organized but it gets messy sometimes when new stock arrives. Most of the folks who come in are regulars from the neighborhood. We talk about the local news while I pack their bags. Being near the statue makes it a landmark of sorts. I’ve seen Hatia change a lot over the years. New buildings coming up, but we are still here in the same spot. It’s hard work, standing all day, but it’s what we do. We don't have any big plans, just to keep the store running well for the locals who depend on us. The fan in the corner hums all day. We keep a few chairs for the older folks to sit while we pack their things. It's just a small part of the day.
