Akshaypatra | अक्षयपात्र

Akshaypatra (Devanagari: अक्षयपात्र; ISO 15919: akṣayapātra) refers to the inexhaustible vessel or divine bowl.

The term is derived from Akshaya (undecaying/inexhaustible) and Patra (vessel). In the Mahabharata, this vessel was gifted by the Sun God (Surya) to the Pandavas during their exile. It provided an unlimited supply of food to feed the family and guests, but would stop producing for the day once Draupadi had finished her meal.
