Guest guest Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Dear Suresh, Cannonball flower / Naga pushpam The naga pushpam or nagalingapoo is the flower of the Naga lingam/ Cannon ball Tree. The tree is considered sacred and is often grown in Shiva temples in India. The flowers as you can see resemble the hood of a snake over a lingam and hence the name nagalingam. It is said to be the favourite flower of Lord Shiva.
