We call in Nandhyaar vattam.....having single layer petals and multilayer. Since Nandhya resembles Sandhya a lot and I used to wear it regularly during my primary school days.....friends used to call me Nandhya Rani ;) :laugh: :laugh:

This cup and saucer am seeing for first time..
Nandyar vattam, it has a sweet smell. Also, it's a medicinal flower.
Its extract is a very good medicine for eye diseases.....we call it Chenkannu(Red eye disease). Our eyes will be red, irritating and painful too.....
Usually, single layered Nandyarvattam is used as medicine for eyes...exactly the same given in Ushaji's first picture

Usha that's right! Jabeen, the first image is the flower we call as 'Tagar' and it has no fragrance. While the one that Usha has posted is the Gardenia flower, it has a very sweet and heady fragrance, in Marathi we call it as 'Anant'.

But it has a smell Kalyani, though not intense.
But if it's layered, it holds a little more smell. Now those multilayered Nandarvattams not seen anywhere

Yes that's right kalyani, we call it Ananta pushpa :) and there are two varieties in that too, one has smaller leaves and the flowers are a pale cream/white in color whereas the larger variety is pure brilliant white and has a lovely fragrance

Yes Nandi flower is used in many ayurvedic medications and is supposed to be very good for the eyes. In fact in many houses at my place kajal is made using this flower since it is supposed to be cooling for the eyes...
