The Parijat Plant (Nyctanthes arbor-tristis) is a divine and ornamental flowering plant, celebrated across India for its fragrant white flowers with bright orange-red centers. Commonly known as Night Jasmine, the blooms open at night and fall gracefully by morning, carpeting the ground with their heavenly scent.
Revered in Indian culture, Parijat is often planted near homes, temples, and courtyards for both its spiritual significance and ornamental beauty. In Ayurveda, it also holds medicinal value, making it not only a decorative plant but also one with wellness benefits.
Known by many names such as Harsingar (Hindi), Pavizhamalli (Malayalam), Coral Jasmine (English), and Queen of the Night, this plant is an all-time favorite for its fragrance and cultural symbolism.
