An Indian police officer and villagers selling Betel nut also called Paan pose for a photo. Chewing is a part of many Asian and Pacific cultures and after about 20 minutes of chewing, the fibrous residue which remains of the nut is spat on the street, where it remains visible due to its characteristic bright red pigment.
