Sethi Shamiana House

Sethi Shamiana House is located at C-17 on Netaji Road, right in the heart of Adarsh Nagar. We’ve been here for quite some time now, mostly handling tents and setups for local functions. If you walk past our place, you’ll probably see us folding up heavy canvases or loading poles onto a cycle rickshaw. It’s not a quiet job. There’s always the sound of metal clanging or people shouting instructions. We do all sorts of setups, mostly for the families living around this part of North Delhi. It’s a lot of work to get a shamiana looking right, especially when the weather isn’t helping. We have piles of carpets and curtains that we keep in the back. They need a lot of maintenance to stay looking okay. I started helping my dad here when I was a teenager, and now I’m the one making sure the bookings are handled. We don’t use any fancy software or anything, just a big notebook where we write everything down. The street can get pretty jammed, so we try to get our loading done early in the morning. It’s just a normal local business. We aren't trying to be the biggest in the city, just reliable for the people who know us. Most of our work comes from word of mouth from neighbors who have used us before. It’s honest work and keeps us busy throughout the year. We just keep doing what we know best and hope the rain stays away.
