Krishna Devi Maharjan is a 40-year-old shopkeeper from Maru, Kathmandu. She has been running a small dairy shop at Basantapur for almost 14 years.
She sells a special kind of curd from Bhaktapur called juju dhau. Though Maharjan earlier used be to a wholesaler, she decided to become a retailor for want of enough manpower. She said the demand for curd during winter is comparatively less. She would sell around 100 litres of curd in a single day during summer.
