Trishul Marbles

Trishul Marbles is out in the Sukher area. If you’ve ever been to this part of Udaipur, you know it’s where all the stone business happens. We are surrounded by other yards and workshops, all doing similar things. Our setup is pretty basic. We have the space we need for the blocks and the slabs, and a small area where we sit and do the billing. There aren't any big air-conditioned offices here. We prefer to be outside where the stone is. My days are mostly spent checking the inventory and talking to the people who come in looking for specific types of marble. Sukher can be a very dusty place, especially when the wind blows through the valley. You just learn to wear a scarf and keep going. We don't use any high-pressure sales tactics or anything like that. If someone likes a piece of stone, they buy it. If not, they move on to the next yard. That’s the way things work in the marble market. It’s an honest way of doing things. We’ve been part of this community for a while, and we know most of our neighbors. We all share the same sun and the same dust. It’s a simple life, focused on the weight and the look of the stone. We just keep at it, day after day, year after year.
