Chamaraju Kalyanna Mandira

We run this hall at 102/5 in Jayanagar 5th Block. It’s tucked away on 4th B Cross, which is a bit quieter than the main roads in 560011. People use the space for all sorts of things, mostly weddings and family gatherings. It’s a solid building that’s been part of the neighborhood for quite some time. We aren’t a big event management company or anything like that. We just manage the building and make sure everything is ready when someone books it. We spend a lot of time sweeping the floors and checking the lights. It’s a lot of logistics, making sure the chairs are out and the water is running. Jayanagar is a nice place to be, and the 5th block has a lot of history. We’ve seen many families celebrate here over the years. It’s a practical space, nothing too over the top. We just provide the roof and the walls for people to have their functions. Sometimes the street gets a bit crowded with cars when there’s a big event, but the neighbors are mostly used to it by now. We try to keep things organized as best as we can. It’s just a local mandira run by local people who have been here for years. We don't do much talk, we just let the space speak for itself when people come to visit. We are here most days just checking on the maintenance and getting ready for the next event.
