Brahm Dandi - Satyanashi - Oont Katara - Camel's Thistle - Tricholepis Angustifolia

This plant is found all over India in the upper Gangetic plains and in the north-western Himalayas at an altitude of 1000 m. Just as a lotus flower emerges from the navel of Lord Vishnu, in the same way, in the upper part of the flower stem coming out of this plant, pink colored, thorny and lotus-like flowers appear. That is why it is called Brahmadandi. Its plant is about 30 to 100 cm high and is full of thorns. Its flowers are round on the tip of the branch, when blooming, like a bowl shape, purple, pink, orange or brown in color and smelly. There are fine and soft thorns around the flowers. A long stem emerges from the central part of the tree, on whose tip there are long, round, smooth and brown, thorny fruits of knob-shaped form.
