Shiv Narayan Departmental Store

Shiv Narayan Departmental Store is what we call this place, and it’s part of the Sahara Q Shop setup in Varanasi. We are specifically located near the MP Institute in Gram Bhagutuwa. The post office is Amauli, and the pin is 221001. This is a bit of a quieter area compared to the main city of Varanasi, more like a village atmosphere. We get students from the institute sometimes, but mostly it's just the local families from Bhagutuwa. The store isn't very large, but we try to keep the basics. It’s mostly just me and a helper keeping the place running. We spend a lot of time sitting out front when it’s slow, watching the cows or the motorbikes go by. The shop can be a bit hard to find if you don’t know the area, as it's tucked away in the gram. We’ve had this store for a bit now and it’s just a steady way to make a living. The walls could probably use a new coat of paint, but we haven't gotten around to it yet. It’s just a simple departmental store. We don’t do any big advertising or anything like that. People know we are here. Varanasi is a busy city, but out here in Bhagutuwa, things move a bit slower, and that suits us just fine. We just try to keep the shelves stocked with whatever people ask for most.
