'Chapter-1 At the beginning of the chapter 1, we learn that Jagan is a very religious person who offers prayers to Lakshmi every morning. He lives by the adage 'Conquer taste, and you will have conquered the self.' When Jagan's cousin questions his faith in the maxim, Jagan merely states that he is only following the advice of sages.
Jagan is the vendor of sweets. He owns a sweet mart where sweetmeats are prepared and sold to the customers. The writer employs both visual and olfactory imagery to depict the scene of Jagan's religious activities performed in the morning with the scent of jasmine flowers and the incense sticks. Even the scent of the sweetmeats frying in ghee spreads all around.(This chapter is about Jagan and his background)
