what a spectacular show this plant puts out

and essential ingredient of the original Kansar in gujarat

ritually made and fed to the newly married couple

right in the lagna mandap in the olden days

(nowadays its spiraled down into mixture of rice powder sugar and ghee)

very nice, Anil

Thank you for the interesting account, Di
This species is endemic to NW Himalaya from lower ranges of H.P.,
Punjab and J&K to Afghanistan. It does not occur in Gujarat. Species
occurring in Gujarat may be Asparagus racemosus.
Differences between two are listed below:

A. racemosus: Cladodes spreading, 2-6 in each tuft, prickles recurved.

A. adscendens: Cladodes erect, 6-20 in each tuft, prickles straight.
