In ancient times our ancestors did not have cloth, so they had to weave mats to spread out on the floor or platform of the house to sit down to eat and drink or receive guests. When a guest came to visit, be it a commoner, a family member, or a king, they always used "Biti renda" on top of the floor to put water, wine, or cigarettes to entertain the guest. However, the banquet for kings is different from ordinary people in that the mats must be laid overlapping up to three layers and then the kings sit on them and this is called "Nahe Biti Hein tol-tolu Takan tol-tolu". The mats are made of woven palm tree leaves. "Biti Renda" in ancestral times was used as a mat to eat, drink, smoke, or chew betel to talk to each other.
The first stage of the manufacturing process involves taking the palm leaves and drying them. During the rainy season, the drying process will take almost a week. After drying, the sticks on the palm leaves will be removed and then the leaves will be split according to the desired size, and then woven according to the model and size we like. These mats can be used anytime and anywhere, but most of the time our ancestors used them to sit down to eat and drink and receive guests.
There are no cultural taboos linked to the weaving or use of this kind of mat, but there are rules distinguishing the use of mats to serve kings and commoners.
