Sri Balaji Tirupati Kalyana Mandapam

Sri Balaji Tirupati Kalyana Mandapam is situated at Plot No. 194/1 on 10 Main Road. This is over in the Ongole area, with the 500001 pin code. It’s a big space that we use for various gatherings and functions. Most of our time is spent on the ground, literally. We are usually moving chairs, sweeping the floors, or making sure the lights are working. It’s a lot of physical work to keep a place like this running. The main road can get very noisy with all the buses and cars passing by throughout the day. We don’t have a fancy office with air conditioning all the time; we are usually out in the hall or near the entrance. It’s a local spot that people in the community know about. We’ve been at this plot for a long time. There is always something that needs fixing, whether it’s a leaky tap or a door that won't shut right. We don't use any fancy booking systems, just a ledger and a pen. It’s a simple way of doing things, but it has worked for us so far. People come by to look at the space for their family events, and we show them around. It’s a bit of an older building, but it has a lot of character. We just focus on keeping the place open and ready for whoever needs it next.
