Signification
The beginning part of day.
Contexte culturel
The time between 4 AM and 6 AM is called 'Brahmamuhurta'. It is considered the best time for spiritual practices and study. In cities like Surat, people go out 'Vaheli Savare' specifically to eat fresh 'Locho' or 'Khaman'. It's a social ritual. For farmers, 'Vaheli Savare' is the start of the workday to avoid the intense afternoon heat. Narsinh Mehta's 'Prabhatiyas' are specifically meant to be sung at this time. They are a core part of Gujarati identity.
The Gender Rule
Always remember 'Savar' is a girl! So use 'Vaheli' with the 'i' sound at the end.
Greeting Tip
While 'Vaheli savare' is a time, the greeting is 'Su-prabhat' or 'Kem cho' (informal). You don't usually say 'Vaheli savare' as a greeting.

Travel Hack
In Gujarat, if someone says 'Vaheli savare' for a bus, they usually mean between 4 AM and 6 AM. Be on time!
Locative Ending
Don't forget the 'e' at the end of 'Savare'. Without it, you're just saying 'Early Morning' (the thing), not 'IN the early morning' (the time).
