The Occasion
One hall, arranged around your function
Not every family occasion comes with a fixed running order. A naming ceremony has its own rituals, a sixtieth wedding anniversary has quite different ones, and a family reunion has none at all beyond eating together and catching up. What they all need is a space that can be arranged around them rather than the other way round.
The hall takes gatherings from around fifty people up to the full 500-seat capacity. For a small function, seating is set out at one end and the rest left open; for a large one it opens out completely. The stage can carry a ritual, a lamp, an honouring ceremony or nothing at all, depending on what the day involves.
Because it is priced for real family budgets rather than as a wedding-only venue, a modest gathering does not end up paying wedding rates. Tell us what the function involves and we will help you work out how to lay the hall out for it.

Ways to Use the Hall
A few of the functions held here
The Traditional Feast (Sadhya)
Family functions are often centered around a grand meal. The mandapam's separate dining hall is built to handle the scale of a proper South Indian traditional feast, seating up to 250 guests at a time. Long rows of seating and stainless steel serving counters ensure the meal flows smoothly without feeling rushed, keeping the dining experience separate from the main celebration area.
- Dedicated dining hall for 250 guests per sitting
- Stainless steel serving counters for hygienic service
- Large kitchen capacity to support traditional caterers
- Premium hand wash area for guest comfort
Traditional Functions (Seemantham)
Functions like a Seemantham (Valaikaappu) or Ayush Homam carry their own distinct rituals. The open floor and level surface of the main hall easily accommodate a homam setup, a traditional unjal (swing), or seating drawn in close for the immediate family. The full centralized air conditioning ensures the expecting mother and elders remain completely comfortable throughout the long morning ceremonies.
- Level open floor suited to traditional rituals and homam
- Air conditioned throughout to keep the family comfortable
- Stage available for honouring ceremonies and blessings
- AC rooms on site to prepare and rest
