Malti Mandap Decorators

You can find us at Dhanakawadi Ragdari Chowk on D P Road 12. Malti Mandap Decorators has been around the area for quite a bit. We spend most of our time moving poles, fabric, and chairs from one place to another. It’s physical work, and our hands are usually a bit rough from handling the ropes and the metal frames. When someone has a function or a small gathering, they come talk to us about what they need. We have a storage space filled with all the stuff—curtains, carpets, and lights. Some of it is older, but we keep it all clean and ready for use. On weekends, we are usually up very early, loading the trucks before the sun gets too hot. It takes a lot of coordination to get a mandap set up just right, and sometimes things don't go perfectly, like when the wind picks up or a piece of fabric isn't the right length. We just fix it and keep going. We don't do much advertising; people usually find us because they saw our work at a neighbor's house or a nearby hall. It’s a family-run kind of thing, and we take pride in just getting the job done so the event can happen. When the season is busy, we barely sleep, but during the monsoon, things quiet down and we spend our time repairing the gear and painting the poles to keep them from rusting.
