Bring Divine Blessings & Fragrance with the Sacred Parijat Plant (Nyctanthes Arbor-tristis)

Invite spiritual peace, ancient lore, and heavenly fragrance into your home with Parijat (Nyctanthes arbor-tristis), widely known as Harsringar, Night-Blooming Jasmine, or Tree of Sorrow. Steeped in Hindu tradition, scriptures hold that Parijat is a divine tree brought to earth by Lord Krishna, making its blossoms especially sacred for home worship and rituals.

Famous for its unique flowering habit, Parijat buds open after sunset, scattering a rich, sweet floral scent throughout the night before softly shedding its flowers at dawn. Featuring small, snowy-white petaled blossoms with striking coral-orange tubes, Parijat creates a soothing, sacred ambiance on sunny balconies, terrace gardens, and courtyard altars.
