Hanuman House
Hanuman House was huge in comparison to many other houses in Arwacas. It had a forbidding demeanor, windowless and thick-walled, and a huge statue of Hanuman was situated atop (the house's namesake). Not a lot of people were invited inside, as the Tulsi were very conservative and so the house was shrouded in mystery. It was bigger than it looked, with many rooms. Certain big rooms were divided to accommodate different families. Some rooms, better furnished than others, were reserved for guests only, hinting at the double personality of the residents.
Shorthills House
The Tulsis moved into this house after their quarrel with Seth; the house was distant from the village, as well as the town, and was surrounded by a lot of trees, whose fruit was often stolen and sold by the sons-in-law. The Tulsis tried to use the different trees around them in food and for other purposes, but they failed. There was also a swimming pool, which wasn't used. The whole scenario evokes the image of an adventure gone downhill.
Sign-Painting
Mohun takes a job as a sign-painter and begins to paint signs in Arwacas. He paints many signs, and he is proud of his work and the effort he puts in it. His signs are described in substantial detail, hinting at the level of commitment he has to work.
Wall at Greenvale
The room where Mohun lived during his time as Seth's driver had a wall covered completely with newspapers. After Shama leaves him, tired of his incessant ranting about her family, he begins to grow obsessed with the wall, reading the same lines over and over so much that the lines begin to haunt his thoughts and he begins to associate the very concept of journalism with those specific articles.
