The Annual Partners' Dinner

One hundred and forty guests, a single long table down the length of the upper hall, brass lamps lowered to a candle glow, and a nine-vessel Banarasi thali served course by course. The evening closed with a shehnai recital on the terrace as the city bells rang across Chaukaghat.
