Arjun Tent & Light House

You can find us over by Subhash Chowk, not too far from the Jaipur GPO. It’s an old part of the city, and the streets can be pretty narrow and crowded, especially during the festival times or on weekends. We handle tents and lighting, which means we’re always carrying heavy poles and tangled wires around the shop. The place is usually a bit of a mess with bulbs, wires, and colored lights everywhere, but we know where every single piece is kept. Working in the GPO area means we have to be quick with loading and unloading our trucks because parking is a nightmare and the police are always watching. We’ve been doing this for many years, mostly helping out with local functions and street events around the chowk. The lighting part of the job is probably the most work. We spend hours testing strings of lights to make sure they actually turn on when they're supposed to. It’s frustrating when one tiny bulb goes out and the whole line dies, but that’s just how it goes with this gear. Our team is small, just a few local guys who know the neighborhood very well. We don’t have a website or anything like that. People just know us because we’ve been at this spot for so long. We see the same faces every season and it feels like home. We just try to get the tents up straight and the lights bright for everyone.
