Virat Tent House

Being located at Delhi Gate Chhatriwala Chowk 7 means we are right in the middle of everything. At Virat Tent House, our days are mostly spent dealing with heavy fabric, long metal poles, and stacks of folded chairs. If you walk past, you’ll likely see a truck parked outside getting loaded or unloaded. It’s a lot of physical labor, carrying rolls of carpet and large decorative pieces. The shop itself is more like a warehouse where everything is crammed in. We have different colors of cloth for weddings and local functions, though mostly it’s the standard reds and yellows that people ask for. The area around Delhi Gate is always noisy with horns and people shouting, so we’ve gotten used to working in that environment. Sometimes the fabric gets a little snagged or dusty from being moved around so much, so we spend time checking the inventory. We aren't a big fancy company with a lot of staff. It’s just us and a few workers who know how to tie the knots and set the poles up straight. Most of our business comes from people in the nearby neighborhoods who have known us for a long time. It can be stressful when there are many events on the same day, but we just take it one pile of chairs at a time. The office part is just a small desk with a lot of notebooks for keeping track of dates and names.
