Jalaram Farshan And Milk

Located on Jalaram Mandir Road in Karelibaug, we focus mostly on the daily essentials like milk and the snacks people like to eat with their tea. Vadodara is a place where people love their farshan, so we make sure to have fresh batches of things like sev and gathiya. The shop is in Devdhar Complex, and since the temple is nearby, we see a lot of people coming in after their prayers. Mornings are the craziest time because the milk crates arrive early and everyone wants their packets at the same time. We have refrigerators humming in the back to keep everything cold. It’s not a very big space, so we have to be organized, though sometimes the empty crates pile up near the door. We aren’t a big supermarket or anything. It is just us serving the people in Karelibaug and Buddhadev Colony. My hands are usually busy weighing out snacks or making change. The smell of fried snacks is always in the air here. We don't use any high-tech systems; we just remember what people like. Sometimes we run out of certain items by the evening, but we always have more coming the next day. It’s honest work and we’ve gotten to know the families around here quite well over the years. We just keep things simple and focus on the food and milk. There is always something to do, but we like the routine of the shop.
