Hira Marbles

You can find Hira Marbles at 12 Shakti Nagar, right near R K Kala Sadan. Being in Shakti Nagar is a bit different than being out on the main highway. It’s a bit more settled in, and we see a lot of local folks from the neighborhood. We handle various types of marble, and our space is filled with stacks of it. It’s a family-run thing, and we’ve been here for a long time. My dad used to run it, and now I’m taking over the daily bits. We don't really do the big fancy showrooms. It’s more about having the stone ready and showing people what we’ve got on hand. The yard can get a bit crowded when a new shipment comes in, but we make it work. It’s interesting seeing what people choose for their homes. Sometimes they want something very plain, and other times they want something with a lot of veins. We just move the pieces around so they can get a good look in the light. Living and working in the same area means we know a lot of the people who walk by every day. It’s a steady life. We don't have a website or anything, just the shop here in Shakti Nagar. If the gate is open, we’re in. Usually, that’s from about nine in the morning until it gets dark. It’s honest work and it keeps us busy enough throughout the week without any fuss.
