PAAN or heart shaped betel leaves is a loved Indian delicacy and after food delight. Heart shape is identified as paan motif in Southeast Asia because of its cultural popularity and ceremonial implications. Paan was once thought of as a symbol of Indian royalty, and the practice of chewing it dates back more than 2,500 years.
