A great patron of music, known for holding eminent mehfils (gatherings) at his palace, Biswambhar is reminded of the day he held a public concert at his music room to celebrate the coming-of-age ceremony of his only son Khoka._x000d_ The scene cuts to a slightly younger Biswambhar being informed that the Bank is unable to cover more loans for the properties he has listed at the Bank to afford such elaborate concerts and gatherings.
