Mahadev Mart

Mahadev Mart is located in Shop No 2 on Lahartara Road in Varanasi. We are right over by Gold Park, so it's a pretty easy spot to find if you are living in this part of the city. We deal in all kinds of general items that people need every day. From soaps and shampoos to different brands of cooking oil, we keep it all packed in our small space. The shop is usually open early because people like to get their things done before the heat picks up. It’s a lot of manual work, checking boxes and making sure nothing has expired. We have some regular customers from the nearby apartments who come in once a week for their big grocery haul. We don’t do any home delivery or anything like that, people just walk in and pick what they want. It’s a bit of a tight squeeze inside sometimes when three or four people are there at once, but we manage. Being near Gold Park helps people remember where we are. We just want to provide the basic household necessities to the Lahartara community. It’s a local business through and through. We talk to the neighbors, hear about their day, and keep the shelves stocked with whatever is in demand. Sometimes the electricity goes out, but we just keep going. It is just a normal life running a mart in Varanasi.
