Pattappas
The atmosphere at SVR Marriage Hall is celebratory, though there is no wedding. Popular wedding caterer LV Pattappa and his team are working tirelessly, taking orders, handing over the tokens, and packing Deepavali bakshanam (traditional sweets and savories) for customers. “I have been organising the Deepavali mela for the past 38 years,” says the celebrated 76-year- old cook who caters to over 160 weddings in a year. He adds, “It gives me immense pleasure to meet, greet and reconnect with our customers. This one week event brings people together and we provide breakfast, lunch and snacks along with coffee for everyone here... the celebratory ambience makes everyone cheerful.”
