Leaf plates are eating plates, bowls or trenchers made with broad leaves, particularly in India and Nepal. In India they are known as Patravali, Pattal, Vistaraku, Vistar or Khali; in Nepal, as Tapari (Nepali: टपरी). They are mainly made from sal, dhak, bauhinia or banyan tree leaves. They can be made in circular shape, by stitching 6 to 8 leaves with tiny wooden sticks (in Nepal, with fine bamboo sticks called sinkaa). Food is served on both fresh and dried pattal. [1] It is popular during traditional meals, festivals and in temples.[2] Its manufacture is a cottage industry in India and Nepal where women work on weaving them at home in spare time.[citation needed]
