Sri Raghavendra Shamiyana

We've been over here on Ganganagar P W D Road in Sultanpura for a while now. Most people know us for the shamiyanas we put up. It's just a small shop where we keep all the poles, cloths, and chairs. When there is a wedding or a small function nearby, we get busy loading the rickshaw with all the gear. My brother and I usually handle the bookings. It isn't anything fancy, just a lot of heavy lifting and making sure the fabric isn't torn before it goes out. Sometimes the weather gets rough and we have to rush to fix things, but that is part of the job. People come by and tell us what they need, maybe for a housewarming or a local festival. We try to keep everything organized, though the storage space is a bit tight with all the pipes and ropes lying around. You will find us near the main road. We don't really do big advertisements. Most of our work comes from people in the neighborhood who have seen our tents at their neighbor's place. It’s a lot of manual work every day. We just open up in the morning, check the inventory, and wait for the next person to walk in. It gets dusty, but we keep going. The neighborhood has changed a lot since we started, but we are still in the same spot, doing the same things every day. We just take it one job at a time.
