Malavalli Chikkanna Kalyana Mantapa

Our building is in Seshadripuram, right near the Seshadripuram Police Station. The pin code here is 560020. This place is Malavalli Chikkanna Kalyana Mantapa, which basically means we host weddings and other local functions. It’s a big hall and we’ve seen a lot of events happen over the years. We aren't a corporate event space. It is a more traditional setup for families in the neighborhood. We spend a lot of time keeping the hall clean and making sure the lights and fans are working. It’s an old building, so there is always something that needs fixing. We are very close to the police station, which is a good landmark if you are trying to find us. We don’t have a big fancy office. We just sit at a desk near the entrance and talk to people who want to book the hall. It’s a lot of coordination with decorators and caterers that the families bring in. We don't do much of that ourselves, we just provide the space. Sometimes it gets very loud with the music and the crowds, but that is part of the job. We don’t talk ourselves up. We are just a local hall that people use because it’s convenient. We keep things simple and try to be helpful when someone has a question. It is just a plain, functional space for the community. We just keep the doors open for the next family event.
