Event AV in Paltan Bazaar

Guwahati is the gateway city for the whole North-East, so it absorbs demand generated across eight states: FMCG and telecom roadshows that use it as a regional launch base, tea industry and oil-sector corporate functions, and the institutional calendar of Dispur. Add a strong local culture of large Bihu and Puja stage programming and the year splits cleanly between corporate and cultural. Crews loading into Paltan Bazaar face the same access routes as the rest of the city: This is the freight constraint that defines North-East production: everything comes up the Siliguri corridor on NH-27, roughly 1,000 km from Kolkata and a realistic 24–30 hours by truck once weather and checkpoints are counted, and a landslide or flood anywhere on that corridor has no alternative route. Inside the city, the Saraighat bridge, GS Road and the hill approaches cap vehicle size, and ferry movement across the Brahmaputra is not a serious freight option. Build at least one buffer day into every inbound schedule.

Rongali Bihu in mid-April is the cultural peak and the whole state's stage, sound and lighting inventory is committed; Magh Bihu in January and Kati Bihu in October also draw local crews. Durga Puja in September–October locks pandal production for a fortnight, Ambubachi Mela at Kamakhya in June fills the city, and state functions take November dates. Weddings cluster into Nov–Feb. Weekend dates at hotels and lawns around Paltan Bazaar fill first during Oct–Mar.
