Sri Guru Goraknath Paints Hardware

Sri Guru Goraknath Paints Hardware is over at No. 9-1-54/3 in New Resiwanipalem. If you are near the Swarna Bharati Indoor Stadium, you are pretty much there already. It’s a handy location because people are always coming and going from the stadium area. The shop is filled with cans of paint and all sorts of metal bits and pieces on the shelves. It’s a bit cramped inside because there is so much stock piled up. You might have to squeeze past a ladder or some boxes to get to the back. We have been here for a bit, and the neighborhood has seen some changes, but the stadium is still the big landmark. The smell of paint is pretty strong when you walk in, which is expected. We spend most of the day moving things around and helping people find the right size of bolt or a specific shade of color. The floor is concrete and has some spills on it from over the years. It’s not a polished showroom where everything is under bright lights. It’s a real hardware store where things are a bit dusty and the work is hands-on. We open early in the morning because that's when the local workers usually stop by to grab what they need for the day's job. It’s a straightforward shop in a good part of town that serves the people living around Resiwanipalem.
