Atul Tent House

Running Atul Tent House keeps us on our feet all day and night. We are based in Gagan Vihar at B-55, right on that 25 Futa Road in Gandhi Nagar Gali No.3. If you have ever walked down this street, you probably saw our stacks of poles and folded fabrics. We handle everything from small family gatherings to bigger weddings nearby. It is physical work, carrying heavy pipes and climbing ladders to get the drapes just right. My hands are usually a bit calloused from the ropes, and our clothes stay dusty from the outdoor sites. We don't have a fancy office; it’s mostly just a storage area where we keep the chairs, carpets, and lights. When the wedding season starts, we hardly get any sleep. We have to load the trucks, drive through these narrow lanes, and set everything up before the guests arrive. Then we wait until the party is over to take it all down again. It isn't always perfect—sometimes a light bulb fuses or a cloth gets a small tear—but we fix it quickly. We've been in this spot for a long time, and the people around Gandhi Nagar know they can just walk over and talk to us when they have a function coming up. It’s a tough way to earn a living, but seeing a decorated space at night makes the effort feel worth it. We just keep going no matter how tired we get.
