botidao also known as chulesi, botki, dao, da, aruvamanai, chulesi, pavshi, vili, morli, pahsul or pirdai is a cutting instrument, most prevalent in Nepal, Maharashtra, South India, Bihar, Pakistan and the Bengal region, Bihar, Tripura, the Barak Valley of Assam.
It is a long curved blade that cuts on a platform held down by the foot. Both hands are used to hold whatever is being cut and move it against the blade. The sharper side faces the user. The method gives excellent control over the cutting process and can be used to cut anything from tiny shrimp to large pumpkins.
