Ganesh Handicraft Emporium

Our shop is located on City Palace Road, very close to the Jagdish Mandir. If you are walking toward the temple, you really can’t miss us. We’ve been here for years, and the shop has become a bit of a second home for us. It’s a typical local business where we sell all sorts of handicrafts. We have things made of brass, some old-style textiles, and various carved items. The street outside is almost always crowded with rickshaws and people, so it stays quite loud. Inside, we try to keep things a bit more peaceful, though the space is small and filled with stock. We don't really have a big staff, just the family and a friend who helps out when it gets busy. We spend a lot of time reorganizing the shelves because we keep getting new things from the makers in the surrounding villages. It’s a lot of work to keep the dust off everything, but we do our best. We don't bother with fancy displays or lighting. We just put the items out where people can touch them and see the quality for themselves. Most of our customers are just people who were visiting the Mandir and decided to stop in. We like talking to them and hearing where they are from. It’s a straightforward way to make a living, and we enjoy being right in the heart of the city near the Mandir.
