This special medicinal tree has a special meaning in the Hindu religion during the Dasara festival (Dussehra). Grown in a pot, the plant forms a shrub that can be kept outdoors in summer and must be brought indoors in winter, but it can withstand a light frost. The funny leaves are divided by a split into 2 round lobes. The pure white flowers grow in clusters and are wonderfully beautiful! After flowering, elongated grey-green pods form.
The leaves, flowers, young pods and seeds are edible and used in traditional medicine.
