Palas is one of the Kalpavriksha (other four are Peepal,Umber,Vad, and Mango ) In Astrology, you must be knowing about Astral Garden or Nakshtra Van (It is in Mahim Nature Park near Education Building). 27 Constellations has one tree each &Astrology says that person who knows his Constellation/ Nakshtra and plant his tree (called as Nakshtra Tree),on the day when that Nakshtra is.and daily he/she water him and take care of the tree.Tree will blessed him. for e.g. Butea monosperma is for Purva Nakshtra.

It was a visit with RAYs and we had Prof. Ulhas Rane with us, he gave out an interesting information on this tree - the Indian Poet, Kalidasa saw the flower of palash as a beak of a parrot and exclaimed 'kinshuk' (in sanskrit) which means 'is it a parrot?' Since then the tree is also called as 'kinshuk' or parrot tree. check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butea_monosperma Cheers, Tejal V <<<<<<<<<<<< Nurturing Grounds art .ideas .actions 9 8 3 3 7 0 7 5 9 8 >>>>>>>>>>>> -- Anand Kumar Bhatt A-59, B.S.F.Colony, Airport Road Gwalior. 474 005.
