The coconut tree, often called the "tree of life", is a remarkable plant whose every part can be used in some way. Its fruit provides refreshing, nutrient-rich coconut water packed with electrolytes, while the soft, pulpy flesh is widely used in cooking and cosmetics. The husk is turned into rope, mats, and brushes; the trunk becomes strong, durable wood for building houses, bridges, and furniture. Even the leaves don't go to waste - they are used for roofing, fencing, and making hats, mats, and baskets. Now, a viral video shows an elderly man showcasing his artistry by crafting a handmade Batman figure from coconut leaves.
In the video, the artist is seen skillfully creating a dark, brooding Batman sculpture using coconut leaves as the primary material. Dressed in a beige kurta-pyjama paired with a turban, he meticulously shapes the mask, body, and finer details by simply twisting and turning the leaves, blending traditional craft with a modern character. Toward the end, the elderly man proudly poses next to the large handcrafted Batman statue, giving a thumbs-up to his creation. He captioned the video showcasing his work: "Handmade Batman art made from coconut leaves."
