In ancient times flowers are very traditional to keep.Jasmine flowers are very nice..


In functions jasmine plays a vital role than other flowers.


In our areas this is Mari gold (Genda) or roses are the main flowers, Jasmine, tuberose, magnolia , mogra are other popular varieties for the function purposes.


For worships nerium and thulsi garlands are most popular. Also, marigold, jasmine and chrysanthemom.

We call in Nandhyaar vattam.....having single layer petals and multilayer. Since Nandhya resembles Sandhya a lot and I used to wear it regularly during my primary school days.....friends used to call me Nandhya Rani ;) :laugh: :laugh:

Jabeen what you are referring to is a similar looking flower with very heady fragrance , we call it cup and saucer flower...is that right? It is lovely and grows into a huge bush...

This cup and saucer am seeing for first time..
Nandyar vattam, it has a sweet smell. Also, it's a medicinal flower.
Its extract is a very good medicine for eye diseases.....we call it Chenkannu(Red eye disease). Our eyes will be red, irritating and painful too.....
Usually, single layered Nandyarvattam is used as medicine for eyes...exactly the same given in Ushaji's first picture

Usha that's right! Jabeen, the first image is the flower we call as 'Tagar' and it has no fragrance. While the one that Usha has posted is the Gardenia flower, it has a very sweet and heady fragrance, in Marathi we call it as 'Anant'.
But it has a smell Kalyani, though not intense.
But if it's layered, it holds a little more smell. Now those multilayered Nandarvattams not seen anywhere

Yes that's right kalyani, we call it Ananta pushpa :) and there are two varieties in that too, one has smaller leaves and the flowers are a pale cream/white in color whereas the larger variety is pure brilliant white and has a lovely fragrance

Yes Nandi flower is used in many ayurvedic medications and is supposed to be very good for the eyes. In fact in many houses at my place kajal is made using this flower since it is supposed to be cooling for the eyes...
Can you tell me how its kajal is made?

The flowers are held on flame until they get charred and then the charred flower is crushed and made into a powder to which some butter is mixed and made into a thick paste and it is ready for use.

They give fragrance to us even after they get crushed. It teaches a lesson for us. We should be useful to others.

I do have exactly the same plant at home. But I don't know if it's nithyakalyani.

I call another white flower, similar to jasmine as 'Nithya kalyani'

Most of the nithyakalyani will be in lavander colour. It is for beauty. When it go close the the plant, you will definitely feel some unpleasant smell.

I like these flowers much. I want to have this plant at my home. I will try to find out where it is available?
Exactly the same I had one...
Actually I had two colours..
But when I returned after my Onam vacation, someone stole one of those plants.
