Description
The Surdarshana Plant is a revered and ornamental shrub often used in traditional Indian gardens and spiritual landscapes. Known for its bright green, oval leaves and clean upright form, it is commonly planted near temples, entrances, or balconies with religious significance.
This plant carries not only aesthetic value but also cultural and spiritual symbolism. It’s often associated with purity and protection and is used in rituals and ceremonial plantings. In appearance, it is leafy, well-branched, and has a naturally tidy shape, making it suitable for decorative as well as devotional use.
