Hey Rothrock

Nice paan ka dibba you got going there.

As for your impression on the lid, paan also being so much associated with romance, you should have typical Indian god couple (SHIVA& PARVATI) sculpted with the paan being fed to each other. Just an idea..

I am so impressed with your paan box! It is really very lovely to look at!

Thanks for putting up the picture of the finished product! I really enjoyed it.

Well the box and its contents have been much appreciated. The only downside was that I did something stupid. The fresh paan leaves were a bit wet and I left them out in the car overnight. So they froze. Some of the ones in the middle didn't change color and get slimy, so we cut out the good parts and made some very oddly shapped paan.

Thanks to everybody for their help.
