Manmohan Tent House

Manmohan Tent House is based in the Prithala area of Palwal. We spend most of our days dealing with heavy wooden poles and big piles of cloth. It is a lot of physical labor because we have to load everything onto the trucks and then unload it again at the site. The fabric comes in all sorts of colors but after a few uses in the dusty Palwal weather it usually needs a good cleaning. We keep our supplies in a large shed where things are stacked up high. When someone has a function or a wedding we get busy pulling out the right tents and finding enough chairs. It can get pretty chaotic when multiple things are happening at once. Prithala is a place where people know each other so we often see the same faces. We don't use any fancy machines just our hands and some ropes to get the tents standing up straight. The sun hits hard when we are out in the open fields setting things up. Sometimes we stay out late finishing a job under the lights. It is tiring work and our clothes usually end up covered in dirt by the end of the shift. We just keep the poles organized and make sure we have enough stakes for the ground. It is a basic business but it keeps us on our feet every day.
