We don’t realize that a lot of names of stationery items used in daily life come from Sanskrit language.
In this post, I am providing some of the Sanskrit names of stationery items used in a classroom.
I have also provided the IAST transliteration for easy understanding of users who can’t read Devanagari script yet.
Feel free to add any name or suggest or even ask a question through the comment section.
