Aarti Bister Bhandar

Aarti Bister Bhandar is our shop located in Malla Talai, specifically near the Dhudhiya Ganeshji area. We mostly deal with bedding, mattresses, and those kinds of things. It’s a very tactile business because people always want to feel the fabric or see how thick a mattress is before they take it home. The shop is often filled with stacks of cotton and rolls of cloth. It can get a bit dusty with all the fiber in the air, but we are used to it by now. Being near Dhudhiya Ganeshji means we see a lot of local traffic. It is a nice part of Malla Talai to work in. We spend a lot of time folding things or helping people carry their purchases out to their vehicles. The work is physical and keeps us on our feet most of the day. We don't have a big marketing team; we just put our items out where people can see them. Sometimes we sit on the stools out front when things are slow and just watch the people go by. It’s a very traditional kind of business. We’ve been at this spot for a long time, and the building itself is quite old but sturdy. We know the local families who come to us when they are setting up a new house or need something for the winter. It’s a steady, quiet life here at Aarti Bister Bhandar. We keep the doors open and just do our bit every single day.
