Coconut
Broken at the start of almost every ritual. Also sits whole in the mouth of the kalash.

If you can't get it
Alternatives found by walking the substitution chain up to three hops.
Closeness is multiplied along the chain, so a substitute reached in two hops automatically scores lower than a direct one — no rule had to say so.Product → SUBSTITUTE_FOR*1..3 → Product
There is no accepted substitute for Coconut.
For items like tulsi, durva grass and bilva leaves this is a real answer, not a gap in the data — the ritual does not permit a stand-in. The graph represents that by the honest means of having no relationship.

Exactly the same relationship as the checklist, traversed in the other direction and at the same cost. A relational schema would need a second index for this.Occasion → NEEDS → Product (read backwards)

How Coconut connects to Diwali
The route the graph took, not just the fact that a route exists.
This is the query with no relational equivalent. A join returns rows; the joins that connected them are gone by the time the result exists. Only a graph can hand back the path itself.shortestPath, up to 6 hops
