This particular Shamiana came via my friend, Mildred, who had been traveling to India back and forth, for the last 45 years! Until her dying breadth, India was her country in body and soul. On her many numerous sojourns - she explored all of India and knew it's secret surprises and the best of what India had to offer. This was a 45 year love affair -and I loved indulging my own curiosity in her beloved finds and treasures. Which were too numerous, if that's even possible! The Shamania is one of the pieces I have left of her hefty Indian booty.

The Shamiana is an Indian ethnic tent or shelter. Typically they are flat-roofed, however some do have a pointed top. These tents are traditionally used for outdoor parties, as a shading from the sun, for weddings, and even restaurants and hotels use them. Typically they use bamboo or metal poles, and a base plate depending on if the ground is hard or not.

The measurements are 116" across. This tent does not include the side panels or the support poles.
