Like Jasmine these flowers have no fragrance. But it has medicinal values. Our Doctor madam will explain its uses.
Here these two, one eyed flowers are turning their faces away from each other as though they are in "Oodal".

Unlike jasmine this flower has no fragrance. We used to call it 'sudukaattu poo'(graveyard flower). When we were children. Now they take medicine out of this and testing it for cancer curing. Nithya kalyani is a beautiful name for this!

These and their white cousins are also called nayantAra Yes, these are showered when a dead body is taken. We also call these "eeSvara" flowers as Siva is supposed to be fond of these.
