The betel nut is an integral part of the daily or ritualistic Pooja.
It is also popularly used in the age old-custom of Indian eating.
The supari is symbolic of the nut of the ego that must be offered on the altar of God.
It represents the hard, coarse qualities that must be surrendered to God,
leaving only the soft, pure qualities.

Betel nut, also known as Pinang or Areca nut, is the seed of the Betel Palm
(Areca catechu). Betel nuts are often chewed for their helpful effects, which are
caused by the relatively high levels of alkaloids in the seed. Chewing betel nuts
is an important and popular cultural activity in many Asian countries including India.

Betel nuts are believed to increase prosperity and they are tied to the pandal,
the grinder, the pounding stone, large utensils and the bridegroom's clothes.

THE EATING OF BETEL NUT IN INDIA IS A PART OF EVERYDAY LIVING IN ALL SOCIO -ECONOMIC GROUPS. OVER THE MANY CENTURIES THE CULTURE OF EATING BETEL NUT ALONG WITH THE BETEL LEAF “PAAN” HAS BECOME AN ART AND REACHED A GREAT DEAL OF SOPHISTCATION AND REFINEMENT.  MANY HOMES HAVE THEIR OWN WAY OF PREPARING THE PAAN AND THERE ARE MANY KINDS OF BETEL NUT – NATURAL ROASTED, SCENTED, SILVERED, CUT IN PIECES/SLICED/FLAKED AND SO ON.
