Supari Bettle Nut: Hindu Pooja Items & Samagiri
The betel-nut is a part of the age old-custom
of Indian eating and is an integral part of the daily or ritualistic
Pooja too. The Supari represents “dessert” to aid in the digestion
of the meal that was just served to the guest. These are of great
medicinal benefit, since both are enriched with calcium. 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. Mostly symbolic
the Supari is many a times traditionally represented as the Nine
planets (in the Navgrah Pooja) and takes the form of Deities like
Brahma, Surya and others during various different Poojas.
