Paduk

Paduk is a traditional Indian wooden or metal headrest designed to support the head and neck while resting or sleeping, often used in historical or cultural contexts. It varies in shape and size depending on region and purpose, typically featuring a curved or flat surface elevated slightly from the surface it rests on. Paduk helps maintain proper posture and comfort, especially during long periods of sitting or resting, and is sometimes decorated with carvings or embellishments reflecting cultural artistry. Overall, it’s a functional and artistic piece meant to promote restfulness and cultural expression.
