Then he held a reception of his male guests, which his uncle Yaminuddaula and other nobles attended, while the ladies looked on from behind lattice-screens. In the richly furnished hall the wedding gifts were displayed on trays, the scarfs, confects and betel-leaves were distributed, and the fire-works let off outside. All the time singing and dancing went on. The night’s work was concluded with a supper to which the bridegroom sat down with all his guests. - [Previous: v1.c7.6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sarkar-1912.v1.c7.6) - [Next: v1.c7.8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sarkar-1912.v1.c7.8) - [Up: v1.c7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sarkar-1912.v1.c7) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sarkar-1912.v1.c7.7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sarkar-1912.v1.c7.7) · Pramāṇa
