Brahma Kamal
Botanical name: Saussurea obvallata
Family: Asteraceae
The Brahma Kamal: The state flower of Uttarkhand, India.
A flower of the Himalayas,
that blooms in the alpine habitats at the upper reaches of the mountain ranges between (approx) 11,000 to 17,000 feet.
The flowers bloom in mid monsoons (July - August)
amongst the rocks and grass of the hillsides in places
like The Valley of Flowers and Hemkund Lake at Sapta Shringa.
The flowerheads are purple,but are hidden from view in layers of yellowish green, papery bracts
which provides the necessary protection from cold mountain environment.
These flowers looks gorgeous, but they smell awful,
perhaps that explains why we do not bring them home, but have been offering them with devotion in the hill temples at Kedarnath and Badrinath.
