In kAlidAsA's RtusaMhAram, you will find the following poem:
aa mUlatO vidrumarAgatAmraM
sapallavaM pushpachayaM dadhAnAH
kurvatyaSOkA hRdayaM saSOkaM
nirIkshyamANA navayauvanAnAm
From top to bottom
the trees are resplendant
with the copper red flower bunches
Alas, the joy-giving aSOkA blooms
are filling with sorrow
the hearts of the love-lorn young ones
The aSOka flower is also one of the five flower-arrows of manmatha.
These flowers are coral red. Of course, we all know that sItA spent her
time in the aSOkavana as a prisoner of rAvaNa. It is also called vanjula
in Sanskrit. In one of jayadEva's ashTapadis (haririha mugdha vadhUnikarE)
there is a mention of manjula vanjula!
Here are some patterns with an idealised aSOka flower.
The spring is around the corner, is it not?

It is a free hand rangoli. After seeing Lakshmi's kolam videos i drew this. Because it is very easy to draw. Thank u Lakshmi, now u r the teacher to me.
Single flower design for fabric painting. The filling shade looks best on cotton fabric.
The wall hanging in the middle was made by Shriram for his art project. It is made of coloured ice cream sticks joined together and the cardboard roll inside the aluminum foil roll is used to make the stand for the flowers.
