Pavilion in Malayalam
കൊട്ടക (kottaka) is the nearest general word: a temporary thatched structure, a pandal, and by extension a hall put up for performances. For the pavilion of a wedding Malayalam uses compounds on the Sanskrit term for a raised ritual hall, where കല്യാണമണ്ഡപം (kalyaanamandapam) is the wedding pavilion itself and കതിര്മണ്ഡപം (kathirmandapam) is the decorated dais on which the ceremony takes place.
