Thambulam, or Vetthalai Paaku, is loved by, and so traditionally offered to Sri Devi at the end of a pooja. It consists of Betel Leaf and Betel Nut, as well as a selection of other ingredients. It is believed that when the divine goddess chews it, it releases a sweet, enchanting fragrance that travels in all 8 directions. It is believed that Devi resides in everyone. So, it is tradition to offer Thambulam to guests before they leave. Meenakshi Betel Nuts are fresh and ready to use. Buy now, from Giri UK.
