Rajasthan Tent House

We are located over in Chand Bhiar Nagar in the Khatipura area. It’s a bit away from the main city center which is actually nice for storing all our equipment. We have a lot of stuff like poles, fabrics, chairs, and all the lights. Running a tent house is a lot of physical work. You’re always loading things onto the back of a tempo and driving out to different spots. My cousins work with me here. We started out small but now we have enough gear for bigger gatherings. Sometimes the weather doesn't play nice. We've had nights where we had to hold down the tents manually because of a sudden wind. It’s stressful but that's the trade we picked. People in Khatipura know us, so we get a lot of local work. We don't really do much advertising. Most people just see our name on the trucks or hear about us from their neighbors. It’s a tough business because everything has to be ready on time. You can't be late for someone’s function. We spend a lot of time cleaning the fabrics after they get used. Dust gets into everything here. We just keep the warehouse organized as best as we can. It’s not a fancy life but it’s ours. We just focus on getting the poles straight and the covers tied tight. There is always something to fix after every event. It keeps us on our toes.
