Bhojpatra is a bark of Bhurja tree which is a birch tree native to the Himalayas, growing at elevations up to 14,800 ft. The white, paper - like bark of the tree was used in ancient times for writing lengthy Sanskrit scriptures and texts. The thin, papery bark is very shiny, reddish brown, reddish white, or white, with horizontal lenticels. The bark peels off in broad, horizontal belts, making it very usable for creating even large pages for texts. According to legend, the bark was also used as clothing by attendants of Lord Shiva. Bhoj Patra paper is eco-friendly, biodegradable, and free from synthetic materials, making it a sustainable choice.
The bark is still used for writing sacred mantras, which are placed in an amulet and worn around the neck for protection or blessing.
