With just a month left for the festival , we at Mandala are extremely excited regarding the same.

The deco work is now complete and packing for shipping has begun. We have also finalized sound system and are in the process of checking the sound system before we start moving anything to the island.

Toilets, Water Supply and other various issues have almost been completed. Most of the crew will be moving to Orissa starting of next month i.e. November and also the local crew is already working providing the logistics support required for the deco crew and the sound setup guy. The festival is on an island and moving each and everything is not easy.

We have also contacted various contractors for setting up a full fledged kitchen at the festival, with a 24/7 staff who will be catering to our guests. This is to be finalised within this week and we shall be able to move forward regarding the same.

Finally , the end of this month i.e. October our pre sales prices i.e. INR 2500 will be closed and final gate prices shall be applicable i.e. INR 3500.

Mandala Ticket for Last Year !!

The picture above is the tickets which were issued last year at the festival and was really appreciated by all the people who attended the festival.

This ticket was designed and executed by Damodharan. He was the brains and in now the Creative Director of our festival.

Storytellers is his crew who handle the deco for Mandala Project exclusively and bring out their new designs and work every year to make the guests feel they have reached another planet all together.

Looking forward to his crew doing wonders this year as well.

Peace !!

Mandala Prep Work !!

So back to reality and work we have now an extremely intresting concept for the dance floor roof which the Damu and his crew are working on meticoulsy. And getting a sneak peek on the design made me go nuts.

Madhavan is busy travelling and I end up talking more with him online on the train than on the phone which goes to show how much time and effort he is putting into travelling and spreading the good word for Mandala this year.

Rohit is just going crazy and saying dude I cant wait anymore and the anticipation is just killing me !! He is going nuts waiting for the festival’s first day and has take leave from work for just this purpose. I don’t blame cos I have done the same and am getting goose bumps waiting for the festival to take off.

Mandala Project is our baby and we are definitely taking care of it. This blog is just an expression of our feelings and making sure that people know how we go about it.

The dance floor and other places at the island are being cleaned and flattened as I write this with people at Rangers gearing up for the festival. Stocking of material , sound is being rechecked and deco material being sourced. Wrist bands are being printed and marked for making sure the festival attendance is controlled. Security is being sourced and local boys being talked on how to avoid unwanted elements at the festival.

We are really looking forward to seeing all of our guests at the festival feeling extremely at home and want everyone to go back with happy memories.
