:)) thank you.
Palash-Priya is the name of the Goddess Saraswati BECAUSE she loves the Palash tree.
Hi Sukanya thank you for the name, I added it to the list and unfortunately we are not passing thru W. Bengal, but someday I would go to see this tree too. :))
Most Welcome, Joseph CHIEF REDEARTH. In West Bengal, we consider this flower to be especially liked by Goddess Saraswati, so we also call her Palash-Priya...she who loves the Palash.
thank you Sukanya for the id of this beautiful tree.
