The Brahma Kamal, the flower of the Himalayas, is an excellent example of plant life at the upper limit of high mountains (3,000-4,600 m).
Purple is the actual color of flowerheads, but are enclosed in layers of greenish-yellow, papery, boat-shaped bracts. The flowers blossom at the height of the monsoons and are well-grown in high-altitude places like The Valley of Flowers. The bract cover provides a warm space that is needed to grow in the cold mountains.
The flowers are used in the hill temples, like the shrines of Badrinath. The root of the plant is thickly curved which is applied to bruises and cuts, as part of local medicine. Brahma Kamal is the state flower of Uttarakhand. A postal stamp was issued by the Indian Postal Department to honor this flower.
