About this collection
When we build at this scale, we are not just decorating. We are engineers of emotion. For this project, we worked with 1.2 lakh square feet of space to ensure the massive Mandap, our homage to Tirupati Balaji, felt like a serene, intimate sanctum even with 4,000 guests present. We managed the acoustics, the flow of the 200-foot aisle, and the structural integrity of the temple replica itself, ensuring that every floral detail remained fresh and every light point served the architectural narrative.
Building a setting of this magnitude requires more than just aesthetics. We treat every square foot as a canvas for cultural preservation. The main Mandap was designed as a faithful architectural study of South Indian temple art, requiring precise fiberglass fabrication to mimic the towering gopurams.
The entry lobby, our Durbar Hall, featured a custom-built hexagonal ceiling with stained glass motifs, directly referencing the Mysore Palace. We moved away from standard tenting, opting instead for a 200-foot Shamiyana-inspired dining expanse that utilized Persian and Mughal layout principles to maintain a sense of intimacy despite the crowd.
For us, the zeenat, or beauty, of the event is inseparable from the structural planning. We handled the entire civil works, from the 50-foot facade fabrication to the installation of high-density floral chandeliers, to ensure the vision remained cohesive. Whether it is the specific turquoise of the pillars or the placement of the deity, every element was aligned to create a space that felt like a timeless, living piece of history rather than a temporary setup.
