As Bengalureans have shifted from buying grain and grinding them in mills to buying them ready-made, many flour mills in the city have shut down. The ones which are standing are being run by the same families for generations.

While many flour mills in Bengaluru have shut down over the years, the ones which are still functional are being run by the same families for generations. The grinders they use were all brought from Chennai, as they were reportedly not available locally back in the fifties and sixties.
