@Rajendra Purple Lotus or Krishna Kamal or Nalini (Nymphaea nouchali) is water based herb plant flower. This is common climber plant flower.

Yadav: Interesting approach to Mahabharata. Thank you.

We in India call this flower as KRISHNA KAMAL. If you know Mahabharata (Epic of ancient India), then you will find why it is called as KRISHNA KAMAL. Purple pettals as Kauravas (there were 100), yellow as Pandavas (5) and above all dard purple as Krishna (1)

Yo creo que el quiso decir que no era un fan? Y si es lo del ventilador... Que risa! Haha.
eulalia rubio
Ja, ja, no es un ventilador, ni tampoco una peonza, ni una bailarina.
