Shree Krishna Tent Decorator

Shree Krishna Tent Decorator is located on Galta Road, right near Govardhan Nath Ji Ka Rasta. It isn't a shop where you buy groceries; instead, our space is filled with heavy metal poles, large rolls of colorful fabric, and stacks of plastic chairs. We spend most of our time loading and unloading trucks. The lanes around Galta Road are quite narrow, so moving the long bamboo sticks and the wooden platforms can be a real struggle sometimes. We have to be careful not to hit the walls of the old buildings when we are turning the vehicles. When it is wedding season, we hardly sleep at all. We are out in the middle of the night setting up tents or taking them down after the party is over. My clothes are usually stained with grease or dust from the iron pipes. We don't have a showroom or anything like that. People just come to the office area to tell us what they need for their function. I spend a lot of time checking the ropes and making sure the cloth isn't torn. It’s hard physical work and my back often aches by the end of the day. We are just a group of men doing our best to get the structures up on time. The weather is our biggest enemy; if it rains or gets too windy, we have to run out and secure everything. It’s a messy business, but it’s what we do.
