I came to see Gulmohar Flowers for the first time in the climax scene of the Movie Devdas; a visual treat made by Sanjay Leela Bhansali..The astonishing beauty of the sequence inwhich Paro's long white saree flowing along the steps and the Red colour of Gulmohar flowers lying near Devdas..A Movie buff can't forget such superb visuals..
Broadly speaking my memories about Gulmohar flowers are related to certain movies,literature, some beliefs of christians of kerala and romance(not mine)too...
The story about the Red colour of Gulmohar seems to be interesting.Saint Thomas Christians of kerala believe that when Jeasus was crusified there was a small Royal Poiniciana tree near by his cross.It is believed that the blood of Jeasus Christ was shed over the flowers of Royal Poiniciana and thus they got sharp Red colour.So that the keralities call the flower as kaalvaripoo...
The Flower has inspired so many writters and based on the time which they blossom(generally during summer) and the beautiful sights offered by them has set a background for movies released entitled the same...To my knowledge two movies have been released(one in Malayalam and marati)having the title "Gulmohar"..
Most of the poets use Gulmohar as a way to describe lost Love..May be the tree is to common so that many of you might have seen lovers walking under the tree by holding their hands together by sharing one umbrella in the rain..
Although Gulmohar brings a tide of Good memories to my mind.It makes me panic nowadays..As I had mentioned earlier the season of blooming of Gulmohar is April-May but for some recent years I had seen Gulmohar in the rainy season also..That indicates an increaaed amount of Global Warming...One of the prime reasons for the alarmed rate of this dangerous phenomenon is the chopping down of trees..All Gulmohar lovers can you guys try to plant a tree or atleast try not to cut trees if other alternatives are available..
Waiting for your sincere feed backs.-Neethu Sreedhar
