Bark of a Khair Tree

Bark of a Khair Tree

A local guide, upon the query, enhanced knowledge about a particular tree, the Khair tree. The bark of a Khair tree, he said, is boiled into the water to prepare the paste known as Kattha.

FYI: Kattha is a red color paste used as an ingredient with paan (betel leaf), many of us know, but what is the source at least I was not aware till I visited Talwas (53 km from Bundi) to tour Ajitgarh fort (constructed by Rao Raja Ajit Singh).
