Shri Raj

Shri Raj is situated in the Katargam New Cloth Market, specifically at V 1. Being in the cloth market means we are surrounded by rolls of fabric and piles of different materials all day. It is a very colorful place, but it is also a lot of heavy lifting. We spend our time unrolling fabric for people to look at and then rolling it back up tight. The market is always crowded with traders and shoppers, so there is a constant buzz of conversation and the sound of carts being pushed down the aisles. We have been at this stall for a long time. There isn't much space for sitting down, so we are usually on our feet. We keep our stock organized by type and color, though by the end of a busy day, things can look a bit messy. We use simple hand shears for cutting and a big wooden table for measuring. The lighting in the market is bright so people can see the patterns clearly. We don't have any big signs or fancy displays. People know us because we’ve been at V 1 for years. It gets dusty with all the lint from the fabrics, so we have to dust the shelves pretty often. It’s just a traditional shop in the heart of Katargam where we deal with textiles every single day. We keep it simple and just focus on the fabric that comes through.
