The traditional husking paddle is on the verge of extinct, even in the rural areas. OnceDhekiwas used for husking paddy in every village household, and even in the urban areas. Besides husking paddyDhekiwas used for making rice dust for 'pitha and payesh'.

I am not suggesting that we all should start using Dheki again, it is just to remind everyone (including myself) that as a nation we must learn to preserve our traditions.
