The Parijatak plant (Nyctanthes arbor-tristis), also known as Harsingar or Night-flowering Jasmine, is a small deciduous tree or large shrub native to the Indian subcontinent. It holds a special place in Indian culture for its mesmerizing white flowers with bright orange-red centers that bloom during the night and fall by early morning, creating a carpet of sweet-smelling petals. The plant symbolizes beauty, devotion, and transience—hence the botanical name “arbor-tristis,” meaning “sad tree.” It typically grows up to 10 meters in height and has rough, ovate leaves with a leathery texture. Beyond its ornamental value, Parijatak is widely used in Ayurvedic medicine; its leaves and flowers possess anti-inflammatory, anti-arthritic, and antipyretic properties, making it useful in treating conditions like fever, joint pain, skin infections, and constipation. In Hindu mythology, the Parijatak is considered a divine tree brought to Earth from the heavens, and its flowers are often used in temple offerings and spiritual rituals.
