Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in India

I had booked a marriage garden on 31-12-2013 for my sister's wedding for 7th march 2014. total amount agreed upon was Rs 1 lakh and an advance payment of Rs 11000 was made on the booking date.
now, due to some unforeseen reasons that marriage garden does not fit into our marriage program, therefor we decided to cancel the booking and conveyed the same to the owner of garden on 25-01-2014, but that person has refused to cancel the booking and even he is threatening us that we will have to pay him the whole money and the garden will remain booked on our name and he will send a legal notice regarding the same. we have send a registered letter to him requesting the cancellation of booking, but he is not signing canceled on the booking receipt and threatening to send us a legal notice to claim Rs 1Lakh.
at the time of booking he did no tell us anything about cancellation process, neither there was mention of any cancellation rules or terms and conditions.
please advice me in this matter and how can i get my money back after deducting cancellation charges. also what legal ground does he have on initiating a legal process against us?
can i approach consumer forum regarding the same? where can i go to sort out this issue ?
Thank You

you should first send the legal notice through any local lawyer and then act according to his guidance.
