The Dispatch wrote A weekly chat with a store owner or clerk in central Ohio – Naina Pothini, 33, Owner of Maanya, 10253 Sawmill Parkway (1-866-9MAANYA or 1-866- 962-2692)”
Q: So tell people what you sell.
A: We are carrying ethnic Indian clothing.
Q: OK, we’ll walk people through the highlights. Talk first about kurtis.
A: Typically, they’re like free (loose) shirts. You can wear them with jeans or sweat pants. It’s very simple and elegant wear.
Q: And chudidars?
A: Those are actually long shirts with pants included, and they have scarves. It’s a whole outfit, basically.

Sweet! I used to do all my Indian clothes shopping in Toronto (back when it was cheap to shop there, le sigh.) Glad to hear there is a local shop!
