Maan Tent House

If you go over to Kot Mangal Singh in Janta Nagar, you’ll find us tucked away with all our gear. We deal with tents, chairs, and all the stuff people need when they’re putting on a function or a wedding. Our warehouse is usually packed high with rolls of fabric and stacks of metal pipes that we use for the frames. It’s a lot of physical work, lifting heavy things and loading them onto the back of the small trucks we use for deliveries. Janta Nagar is a crowded spot, so maneuvering the vehicles in and out of the narrow lanes can be a real headache sometimes. We spend a lot of time checking the tents for rips or cleaning the seat covers after a big party is over. It’s a seasonal business, so some months we are working day and night without much sleep and other times it’s a bit quieter and we can catch up on repairs. The family has been doing this for a while and we just keep at it. My hands are always a bit rough from handling the ropes and the canvas. We don't have a fancy showroom, just the place where we store everything and a small desk to write down the bookings. People from the neighborhood just drop by when they have a family event coming up, and we try to help them out with whatever they need for their special day. It is a lot of hard work but it keeps us busy in Janta Nagar year after year.
