of a Hindu temple) inside temple but with change of time and style the kalyana
mandapas are vanishing from the newly built temples and peple prefer fancy banquet
halls and resorts instead of going to a temple.

to regenerate that same feel, the decorator or planner have used a six pillared
structure in the lawn, the intricate flower carving is replaced by flowers itself.
 To let the guests have a view of the rituals being performed in the mandapa, a four
directional seating arrangement is done. Also, to avoid any huss, circulation space
is given and is directing the pathway through the use of the carpets.

human psychology through use of colours like, pink,red and white .

femininity blends well with the colour white which is supposed to symbolizing a new
