For the past several years we've been tired of actually telling people on Facebook, WhatsApp. The beautiful flower which is commonly known and worshiped by many as Brahmakamal is actually a kind of cactus. This is a great example of how a wrong thing can be heard over the years and become real. 

Thirty-five flowers were planted on this bush at our door many years ago. It was the first spring. By that time, the appreciation of visiting the neighbors at night had blossomed at the door. Eight to ten flowers bloomed every night around eleven. The ceremony lasted for three or four days. Photographed with great appreciation. These images were used as background images on computer screens for several days.

At that time there was a small garden of different types of cactus in a corner on our terrace. The appreciation of these flowers ended, and they caught a couple of buds on a tall, vine-like but thick thorny tree in Nivdunga. As the days went by, it was noticed that these buds were similar in color to the buds of 'Brahma Kamala'. What a surprise! How is it The weevil landed on his head. No matter how much you get fired. Well, those who are asking are saying boldly - "No, yes. This is Brahma Kamal .. !!" 

Google has evolved a lot by now. The wiki was just beginning. Information received. The mind, the soul, the head and everything like that became very cold. Felt good In the last eight years, wherever these pictures and photos have been referred to as 'Brahma Kamal', sincere efforts have been made to disseminate information. Happiness seems to be that a lot of people said "wow", "nice" and sadly it happened that these same people printed the same photo again in the next season as Brahma Kamal. Turban. Nothing left.

In fact, the lotus blooms only in and around the Himalayas. At an altitude of about 4500 meters or so above sea level. Our state of Uttarakhand has honored him with the state flower. Its English name is Saussurea Obvallata. The lotus tree blooms around July-August and can be seen till mid-October. When the spring is over, the tree dies and reappears around April. This can be seen in the hand of Brahma, who is seated on the lotus that has grown from the navel of Lord Vishnu and hence his name is Brahma Kamal. This beautiful flower is on the verge of extinction as the whole plant is used in Tibetan medicine. It is used in diseases of the urinary tract and genital organs.

According to more recent information, both the one in front of our door and the one on the terrace are Ceroid type cactus. They are also known simply as Cereus. The most important thing for your information is that this whole 'Sirius' family has flowers of the same color and scent as 'Vanilla Cactus'. Only the size is slightly higher or lower. The word Cereus, derived from the Latin word, literally means a candle. They are funny.

I would say that this cactus flower is more attractive than Brahma lotus. I am also happy to see that flower. Its fragrance fills the mind. But no matter how Brahmasvarupa that happiness is, it is not due to Brahma Kamala but due to a simple Nivdunga. Nivdung and Vairanta have a close relationship but I want to tell you that there is great beauty hidden in that Vairanta too. The Night Queen is mentioned in many poems and short stories.Some of the stories revolve around her, but the queen who carries this foreign name is the lotus at our door.
