Ganga Mandap Decorator

Ganga Mandap Decorator is based in Kandivali East at H Kharude Market 161. Our workspace isn't really a shop you'd walk into to buy things; it's more like a staging ground for all our equipment. We have piles of colorful cloth, heavy metal pipes for the mandap frames, and boxes of lights and artificial flowers. Most of our work happens at night or very early in the morning when we are setting up for a wedding or a local festival. It’s physically demanding work, lugging all that gear to different venues across the city. Our hands get calloused from tightening bolts and pulling ropes. When we aren't out at a site, we are here at Kharude Market fixing torn drapes or painting the wooden pedestals. The market area is always busy, and there’s a lot of shouting and honking, which is just the background music to our day. We don't have a fancy portfolio or a glossy brochure to show people. Usually, someone just sees our work at a party and asks for our number. We keep our overhead low and our focus on the manual labor involved in making a space look ready for a celebration. It’s a lot of sweat and long hours, but seeing a finished stage under the lights makes the effort feel worth it. We are just a group of guys working hard to get the job done right.
