Before the discovery of the paper, the people used to write on ________.

Before the discovery of paper people wrote on the palm leaf.

Dried and prepared palm leaves served as a durable writing surface across ancient India.

The mango leaf was not used as a writing material, though its foliage carried other ritual uses.

Lotus leaves are delicate and unsuited to lasting inscription, so they were not writing surfaces.

The banana leaf serves as a plate for food rather than a medium for durable script.

Palm-leaf manuscripts preserved scriptures and learning for centuries before paper.
