Esho Nipobone--A Monsoon Offering: Photos of the first yields of fragrant Kadamba flowers of the Monsoon blooming in the compound of my residential home are posted below. Kadam or Kadamba (Cadamba) is a tropical tree native to my homeland, India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and other Southeast Asian countries. It is an evergreen tree with religious as well as cultural significance. The color of the kadam flower is red to orange and is scented too. As mentioned above, Kadam also features in Indian mythologies and religions. The tree has been mentioned in the Sanatan Dharma's Bhagavata Purana. It is called "Parvati's tree" in Southern India. Most of us know about Lord Krishna and his relationship with Radha. They spent some time with each other under the sweet-scented shade of a Kadam Tree. Theravada Buddhism says about a Kadam tree under which Sumedha Buddha achieved enlightenment. The tree is also known as the "Nipo" tree in my country in Bengali. If any reader wants to learn more about this tree and its flower, fruits, and economic values, the reader may look for them on the Internet. |

Many years ago I lived in southern California and often went to the San Diego Zoo and would see many trees from your country as well as other countries. It brought back good memories taking our daughters and visitors to the Zoo!
