Betel Nuts

Betel nuts in puja symbolize auspiciousness, prosperity, and devotion, acting as a sacred offering representing the ego to be surrendered to God, essential in Hindu rituals like havans, yagnas, and daily prayers.

It is often presented with betel leaves (Thamboolam) as a sign of respect and divine blessing. They are used in specific rituals, like deity installation, and are considered a key part of the puja essentials (Puja Samagri) for inviting positive energy.
