in the verandah up front were the halwais , preparing lunch for the guests in gargantuan cauldrons , in one of the rooms at the back were the ladies , looking at the fancy suits and sarees that mrs. surana had bought as vari for the bride , in another room were the men , indulged in an exciting game of rummy , while in the main hall were the young ones , playing antakshri to the music of a guitar and beats of a dholki .
