The dosa is the sacred sun-disc — the feast you can roll, fold, or break open like a gate.
Paper Dosa is its grandest echo — wide as harvest fields, crisp as songbirds at dawn.

2. Sacred Purpose

To honor simplicity made mighty.
To taste air, earth, and fire folded into a single radiant scroll of nourishment.
