00:21the ceremonial arrow here. With her on stage were her two granddaughters, Nityashree and Adyashree.

00:33pointed at it, spoke to the President, making sure she did not miss the moment. When the music played,

00:38she swayed on stage, lifting her toy arrow upward. She kept shifting places. Behind a chair,

00:44then beside the President's 8th decamp Major Riship Singh Samhyal, the moment looks playful.

01:11under mysterious circumstances. In 2012, she lost her second son in a road accident.

01:28What remained was her daughter. Itishree Murmur went on to become a banking professional and is married

01:50are now President Murmur's only grandchildren, which brings the clip back into focus.

01:54What people keep replaying is not the ceremony. It is the arrow in a child's hand and the woman
