Puran Tent House

Puran Tent House is situated at Jahawar Nagar 15-A. It’s a small place but we fit a lot of equipment inside those walls. You can find us there most mornings, usually drinking tea before we start loading the heavy iron frames. Working in Jahawar Nagar has its own pace, and we’ve become part of the background here at 15-A. We don't use any fancy systems to keep track of things, just a notebook and some good memories. The tents we have have seen a lot of different celebrations over the years. Some are a bit older, some are newer, but they all serve the same purpose. We spend a lot of time mending seams or painting the poles so they don't look too rusty. It’s just me and a couple of others doing the lifting. We don’t promise anything we can’t do, we just show up and set things up as best as we can. People in the area know us by name, which is nice. It makes the work feel a bit more personal than if we were in a big city office. We just stay busy with the local events and keep our gear in good enough shape for the next person who needs it. It isn't always easy, especially when the rain starts, but we make it work somehow. We are just part of the everyday life here in the nagar.
