Pilgrimage and institutional construction
Gurudwara, dharamshala and institutional building runs on trusts and committees that pay against documents on their own timetable. Those accounts are long-term and steady, and being set up for their paperwork is what keeps the work with you.
Agriculture behind the district trade
Beyond the city, building follows farm income, which concentrates demand rather than spreading it. The pre-season order is made once and cannot be corrected mid-season, so last year's movement over the same weeks is the honest basis.
Two settlement patterns
A trust releasing funds after a committee meeting and a farmer settling after the harvest are both slow for different reasons. Ageing rather than a total shows which is which, and a limit per party keeps either from growing past what you can carry.
