Religion / पूजा | | English term or phrase: Patala | Greetings,
Please write in Devanagari and clarify the English meaning. It seems to mean something like “foot stand” but I'm really not sure.
Context: this Divali card.

Amongst the instructions you will see:
“Click on the Akshata to place it on the Patala.”
All the best,

SeiTT,
Your term is पटला. (As I have clarified before)
BUT, in the context of DIWALI it should be CHAUKI - चौकी (low square or rectangular seat) or वेदिका. |
