Gupta Tent & Light House

You can find us in Kishan Ganj over at Rama Park, number 9. This business is all about the local events and gatherings that happen in our area. We spend most of our time out on the road or in the back warehouse sorting through piles of fabric and miles of electrical wiring. When there’s a wedding or a function, we are the ones hauling the heavy iron poles and the big rolls of colorful cloth to set up the tents. It’s physically demanding work, especially when the sun is beating down on us. Then there are the lights—hundreds of bulbs and decorative pieces that we have to check and re-check. Our shop in Rama Park is more of a storage space than anything else. It’s filled with folded chairs, tables, and stacks of carpets that we’ve used for years. We’ve seen many families grow up and celebrate their big moments under our tents. Sometimes things break or the rain ruins a bit of the setup, and we just have to fix it on the spot. We don't have a fancy way of talking about what we do. We just show up, put the structures up, and take them down once the party is over. It’s a late-night kind of job, often finishing up long after everyone else has gone to sleep. It’s been our way of life for a long time now in Kishan Ganj and we don't expect it to change.
