Ratti

Ratti is a traditional Indian practice that involves casting a person's fingerprint or thumbprint in wax, clay, or similar material. It’s often used as a form of identification, security, or personal validation, similar to how fingerprints are used today. The term "Ratti" historically refers to a unit of measurement in India, but in this context, it relates to capturing and preserving a person's unique fingerprint profile. This practice emphasizes the importance of individual identity and has been used in various cultural and security practices across India.
