Gayatri Ayurvedic Store

Gayatri Ayurvedic Store has been around for a long time. You can find us at 41371 Manjaipur Balewadi, not far from Darbar Chowkdi. My days are mostly spent among the wooden shelves filled with glass jars and little paper packets. People come in looking for specific herbs or oils that their families have used for generations. It is not a modern-looking shop with bright lights; it is more of a quiet place where everything has a dusty, earthy smell. I try to keep the stock updated, but sometimes the shipments take their time to arrive. Most of the labels are handwritten by me so I can remember what is what. It gets a little crowded in here when three or four people come in at once because the space is quite narrow. I usually sit on a small stool behind the counter and wait for the regulars. Some folks just come in to talk about their health troubles. I listen and help them find the right powder or dried leaves. The neighborhood is fairly busy, but inside the store, things move a lot slower. We don’t have a computer or anything like that. Everything is done on paper. If you’re walking near Darbar Chowkdi, you’ll see our small sign out front. It’s a simple life running this shop and I’ve gotten used to the rhythm of it over the years.
