There was a time when horoscopes were composed on some special types of leaves called as bhoj patra or bhurja patra. Till the invention of paper, bark of bhoj patra was used for storing information in a written form. Owing to be used in place of paper, it is also called as lekhya patra Bhojpatra is used as covering, protecting from evil effects of devils etc. People going to Badrinath, Kedarnath, Gangotri tie this bark under foot thus making their journey comfortable. Bhojpatra has been so many medicinal uses also.
