When our very esteemed client was celebrating his Sahasra Chandra Dharshanam - sighting of a thousand moons in the Thiruvidanthai Nithya Kalyana Perumal temple, we were tasked with creating the ambience that befitted the family. The kalyana mandapam outside the temple was completely made over in 4 days. A huge waterproof shed of 4500 sq ft was constructed outside the mandapam and the temple ambience was re created there. With a utsava Moorthy of the Varaha swamy presiding over this venue, the walls were all clad with temple scriptures and pillars . An existing old mandapam was used as the sacred bathing space. The backdrop for that became the famous 1000 pillar corridor of Madurai giving the illusion of the ritual happening there . Yali sculptures adorned the gateways.
The icing on the cake was to have a transparent see through curtain on one side, which while protecting the AC, gave the guests an unhindered view of the beautiful temple pond. No other destination could have lent itself to a set up like this enhancing the old and embracing the new.
For 4 days our team worked relentlessly day and night to pull off this decor that we are so proud of. And when it was time to handover, our body was begging for rest, but the mind was far too excited to see
the happy faces of the clients, the great encomiums they paid us, the blessings of the Legend himself , his family and the trust that reposed in us alongside the staff of and . who supported us in pulling this off. Moments like these are to be treasured forever.
