- The seeds of Corypha umbraculifera are utilized to create beads known as 'Bodhi root' in the art of crafting jewelry. Hailing from India and Sri Lanka, this particular species boasts the unique characteristic of having leaves that are both pliable and supple when dry. These leaves have long been favored as a medium for carving intricate Buddhist Sutras, with the most notable example being the 'tale palm' or 'tad-patri'. In India, the plant is also referred to as 'vegetable ivory' due to its resemblance to the prized material.
- The seeds hold a profound meaning for all those who seek spiritual growth and understanding, as they represent the path to enlightenment that Buddha himself followed under the bodhi tree. Each seed is imbued with a sense of serenity and wisdom, serving as a reminder of the potential for personal growth and spiritual evolution. The seeds can also be used as a tool for meditation, prayer, and mantra counting, offering a tangible connection to the divine and guiding individuals on their journey towards inner peace and understanding.
