A brass betel box, also known as a paan-daan or tamrapatra, is a traditional Indian container used to store betel leaves and related items used in the chewing of betel quid. Betel quid is a popular and culturally significant practice in many parts of South Asia, where people chew a combination of betel leaf, areca nut, slaked lime, and various flavourings.

The betel box is an essential part of this ritual. This traditional brass betel box is a stylish and functional addition to your home. Crafted with premium quality brass, it features a smooth finish and intricate detailing for an elegant look. With sturdy construction and large capacity, it's perfect for keeping your betel leaves safe and organised.

Brass betel boxes are often ornately designed and serve both functional and decorative purposes. They typically consist of multiple compartments to store the various components needed for betel chewing, including betel leaves, areca nut, slaked lime, and often other items like cardamom, cloves, and catechu. These boxes may have intricate engravings or other decorative elements, making them prized possessions or family heirlooms.
