The Kalyanam fits naturally in The Cauvery Mandapam, our pillarless main hall, sized for 600–1,200 guests and lit by east · south · west light. Across 11,000 square feet, the room holds the ritual without crowding the photograph.
Our coordinator handles the logistics around the ritual: priest coordination, mandap setup, vegetarian or strict-Iyengar service, photographer access, and the order of arrivals. The lighting is set so the lens reads warm: daylight from the east for the morning, tungsten warm-white for the evening.
For the photograph, we plan around a single composition: muhurtham fire close-up, varmaala mid-frame, partial faces only. The frame is yours. The room stays out of the way.
