In a town/city, certain number of weddings are held in rented halls/buildings. These buildings can also be rented for other functions, gatherings, meetings etc. For example, the functions held to celebrate the coming of age of a Hindu Brahman, the reception held after the marriage are also conducted there. Thus, we can tag "wedding halls" as amenity=community_centre <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dcommunity_centre>. Additionally, building=yes <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:building> can demarcate the structures within which the weddings happen. And the ubiquitous *name=** tag might also be necessary.
Some of the buildings have a permanent *mandap*, some don't. I think the presence or absence of a *mandap* can be explicitly mentioned using an additional *mandap=yes/no* tag. However, to make this widespread and India-specific one has to consult with the other community members first. But again, openstreetmap is a free map :) Can you list all such India-specific POIs in a separate thread? Maybe one can start providing solutions for them.
