The first faint light of dawn, a tender shade of lavender, crept over the neem tree outside the Sharma household. Before the sun could bleed its gold into the sky, the house was already whispering with life. This was the savaiye , the sacred hour before sunrise, and in a traditional North Indian family, it belonged to the elders.

Seventy-two-year-old Mr. Sharma, the family patriarch, sat on a worn wooden chowki in the puja room. The air was thick with the scent of old sandalwood, camphor, and marigolds. His fingers, gnarled like the roots of the banyan tree outside, moved with practiced precision over the brass diya . He lit the wick, and a small, steady flame pushed back the shadows.
