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 Jaggery.
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.

How Jaggery connects to Ganesh Chaturthi
