Height 3 feet Native Shrub 

8th Feb 2010

Mulepetlu village, Krishnaraja nagar, Mysore

Backwaters of Krishraja sagar dam (Brindavan gardens)

(Sangam of the river trio cauvey, Hemavathi, Lakshman theertha)

/* After the monsoon draws to a close, the backwaters of the Krishnarajasagar dam (Mysore District), flood the river plains  swamping the paddy fields with water. 

In February, the waters start receding and these aquatic plants start emerging everywhere in the low area. But this bloom is short lived. Soon the farmers till the land for summer crops removing all these weeds.
