Sri Sai Tent House & Lightings

We have been here at Sarakkai Gate for a long time now. Sri Sai Tent House & Lightings mostly handles the local weddings and small functions around Kanakapura Main Road. It gets really busy during the marriage season. We spend a lot of time loading poles and chairs onto the small trucks. Sometimes the lights get tangled and it takes hours to sort them out. It's not easy work. My hands are usually dusty from moving the heavy canvases. People come in asking for specific colored drapes or extra fans when it gets hot. We try to keep everything tidy but with so much gear, the warehouse stays a bit cluttered. The traffic on the main road is always loud, so we have to shout sometimes to hear each other. If it rains, we have to run to cover the wooden stages so they don't rot. Most days start early and end late when the party is over and we have to go back to bring the stuff home. It's a lot of physical labor. We know most of the neighbors and the local temple guys who always need a stage for their festivals. Sometimes we drink tea at the corner shop while waiting for the next booking. It’s just how things go here at the shop. We have some old light sets that still work better than the new ones people buy online these days. The floor is usually covered in bits of wire and rope. We don't have a big office, just a desk and some ledgers.
