DAADAA LE, POTAA BARTE

THE PHILOSOPHY OF DURABILITY

"DAADAA LE, POTAA BARTE"

In the villages of Haryana, this is not just a saying; it is a standard. It translates to: "Bought by the Grandfather, Used by the Grandson."

In a modern world obsessed with "fast furniture"—items designed to look good for a season and fall apart in a few years—this Haryanvi proverb feels almost revolutionary. But at Panchal International, this three-generation rule is the foundation of everything we build.

We believe that true vernacular furniture is not a consumable good. It is a vessel of memory.

THE FURNITURE OF MEMORY

Why did our ancestors insist on such extreme durability? It wasn't just about saving money. It was about continuity.

In the traditional Haryanvi home, the Palang (bed) or the Pidha (stool) was a silent witness to the family's history. A Palang gifted during a wedding would witness the birth of children, the laughter of a growing family, the wisdom of old age, and the passing of generations.

If the furniture broke, the memory was interrupted. If the furniture survived, the story continued.

THE CRISIS OF CRAFT

In the last few decades, we saw a crisis. The traditional wooden furniture, while beautiful, was struggling to keep up with modern life. Wood can rot, joints can loosen, and the "use-and-throw" culture was slowly eroding the idea of the heirloom.

We faced a difficult choice: Do we abandon the traditional designs for modern sofas? Or do we find a way to make the tradition indestructible?

TRADITION, RE-ENGINEERED

This is where the Panchal legacy stepped in. We realized that to "Conserve The Culture," we had to engineer it for the future.

This is why we transitioned to high-grade Stainless Steel. By replacing the fragile wooden frame with a rust-proof, all-weather steel structure, we didn't change the culture—we protected it. We ensured that the Charpai you buy today will not just sit in your garden; it will be the same Charpai your grandchildren play on.

THE 10-YEAR PRMISE

When we offer a 10-Year Unbreakable Guarantee on our steel structures, it is not a marketing tactic. It is our way of honoring the proverb.

We are building the Dadalahi (Ancestral) items of tomorrow. We are ensuring that when you bring a piece of Panchal International furniture into your home, you are making an investment in your family's history.

Daadaa le, Potaa barte. This is our philosophy. This is our promise.

DAADAA LE, POTAA BARTE

In a world of fast furniture, we abide by the ancient Haryanvi code: 'Daadaa le, Potaa Barte.' Discover why true vernacular furniture is not just a commodity but a vessel of memory, and how we engineer our steel heirlooms to honor this timeless promise.
