Answer :
In the short story 'The Portrait of a Lady' by Khuswant Singh, the grandmother celebrated the homecoming of her grandson by inviting all the neighbourhood women to their house in the evening. She endlessly sang songs related to the homecoming of warriors while beating an old drum.
The following lines from the story provide the answer :
'In the evening a change came over her. She did not pray. She collected the women of the neighbourhood, got an old drum and started to sing. For several hours she thumped the sagging skins of the dilapidated drum and sang of the home-coming of warriors. We had to persuade her to stop to avoid overstraining. That was the first time since I had known her that she did not pray.'
