Among the myriad interesting "facts" one learns browsing online is
that there exists a plant in Asia which blooms only once every 20 years,
supposedly, and whose flower is shaped precisely like the nude torso of
a woman.
Some say it grows in Thailand and is called
the "Nareepol tree." Others say it's native to the Himalayas, where it's
called a "Narilatha flower" (alternative spelling: "Naarilatha
flower"). In Sri Lanka they supposedly call it a "Liyathambara Mala."
But
what's in a name? The point is, so completely alluring are the
"lady-shaped blossoms" of this tree or plant, supposedly, that the
blissful trances of hermits and sages have been known to be "shattered"
at the sight of them.
This is amazing tree named 'Nareepol' in Thailand. Naree means
'girl/woman' and pol means plant/tree or 'buah' in Malay. It means women
tree. It is amazing what God create the World in many forms that amused
human beings.... You can see the real tree at Petchaboon province about
almost 500 kms away from Bangkok.
It is called the Narilatha flower, which when
translated in Hindi means flower in the shape of a lady. It is also
called the Liyathambara Mala in local Sri Lankan dialect. The tree is
also said to be found in Thailand where it is allegedly called
"Nareepol."
The Narilatha flowering plant is said to grow
in the hilly slopes of Himalayas in India and is understood to bloom
once in two decades only; in other words it blossoms into a lady like
flower after a 20-year interval. It is believed that in times of yore
the concentration of hermits and sages doing deep meditation would be
shattered at the sight of these lady-shaped flowers.
The
Narilatha or Liyathambara flowers said to be in the shape of a women are
considered one of the most wonderful and rarest of flowers in the
world.
Fruits and
Vegetables are found in different shapes, Banana is of different shape
and shape of brinjal is something else and tomato is circular. But you
will be surprised to know there is tree named nareepol which grows trees
in the shape of young girl. It is believed that the nareepol tree
exists in Himalayan Slopes and grows narilatha or nareepol flowers once
in every 20 years, nareepol is also believed to exist in Thailand
(Petchaboon) and Srilanka also.
