Rathod Provision & General Store

If you go toward the Dwarkadhish Temple in Chhota Udepur, you’ll find us at Plot No.48. We’ve been running this provision and general store for a good while. It’s a simple setup where we keep all the basic necessities people might need. Being near the temple means we get a lot of people passing by, not just the locals but folks visiting for prayers too. The shop is full of everything from soaps and detergents to flour and spices. It gets a bit tight inside when we have more than three or four people at once, but we manage. My family helps out with the daily tasks, like unpacking crates and tallying the books at the end of the day. We don't have a big staff or a fancy computer system for everything. We mostly remember what people want. The walls could probably use a fresh coat of paint, and the floor gets some wear and tear from all the foot traffic. We try to keep the staples in stock so nobody has to go far for their daily needs. Some days are long, starting before the sun is fully up and closing late after the last temple visitors have headed home. It’s a busy life but it’s what we know. We aren't trying to be the biggest store around, just a reliable place where you can get your groceries and chat for a minute about the weather or the town news.
