Shital pati
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shital pati, also called sital pati and sittal pati, is a kind of mat which feels cold by nature. It is made from murta plants (Schumannianthus dichotomus). It is usually used in Bangladesh and some parts of India.
Shitalpati is made from cane or from murta plants, known at different places as mostak, patipata, patibet and paitara. The murta plant grows around water bodies in Sylhet, Sunamganj, Barisal, Tangail, Comilla, Noakhali, Feni and Chittagong. These days nakshi pati made of murta plants is available only in Sylhet and Noakhali districts of Bangladesh.
