what were the working blades of India?

This piece discussed some time ago as a javanese machete has the same hilt attachment as the machete of Fernando.

Looks like an aruval. Is it after all an Indian or nepalese piece?

Hi Henk,
The wooden handle looks alike, but the socket of mine is very particular, in that it is an extension of the blade; no steps, all a smooth continuity.
