At the Keeladi dig, Priya's eleven-year-old hands trembled holding pottery fragments older than kingdoms. Her grandmother, a Carnatic music teacher, had brought her here to understand heritage through touch, not just sound.

That afternoon, grandmother and granddaughter walked home together, clay dust glinting gold in sunset. Some treasures, Priya realized, belonged to everyone willing to listen.
