Palash ke Phool – This photo was taken near Ambaji Temple in Banaskantha (Gujarat).
Upon query, I was told ‘Palash ke Phool’ is also known as Kesudo or Khakda in the Gujarati language. Palash flowers if soaked in the water, and the water bath is useful for children having fever during summer days.
And the cost?
Rs. 10/- she said for a half-full plastic bag.
