Puthi

A "puthi" is a traditional form of written or printed material, often referring to a manuscript, document, or book, primarily used in South Asian contexts. It can also denote handwritten notes, palm-leaf manuscripts, or texts that are carefully preserved and sometimes elaborately decorated. Puthis serve as cultural artifacts, capturing literary, religious, historical, or scholarly knowledge. In modern terms, it is similar to a manuscript or a handwritten or printed record, playing a vital role in maintaining historical and cultural heritage.
