'They were supposed to come out from opposite ends of the house and meet here for the jaymala five minutes ago.' (p. 7)Jaymala is one of the ceremonies performed during an Indian wedding. The bride and groom exchange garlands that signify their acceptance of one another as husband and wife. The garlands are the "jaymala." They are made mainly with roses, but are usually also decorated with other flowers and a variety of other objects.
The word "jaymala" can also be spelled as "jaimala" or "jay mala", and the words "varmala" and "var mala" have the same meaning.
