🌳 Bauhinia / Kachnar (Bauhinia variegata & Bauhinia purpurea)
The Bauhinia tree, popularly known as Kachnar, is a breathtaking flowering tree that graces India’s landscapes with its orchid-like blossoms in shades of pink, purple, and white. Its heart-shaped twin-lobed leaves give it a distinctive look, while the profusion of blooms during spring and summer turns roadsides, gardens, and courtyards into colorful displays. Growing 10–15 meters tall, Bauhinia is cherished as both an ornamental tree and a symbol of grace and beauty. Its blossoms often resemble orchids, earning it the name “Orchid Tree” in many parts of the world.
Importance of the Tree: A Versatile Marvel
The importance of the Bauhinia tree is multi-dimensional. Ecologically, its fragrant flowers attract bees, butterflies, and birds, making it a pollinator-friendly species that supports biodiversity. Its foliage provides shade, and its adaptability allows it to thrive in varied soils and climates. Culturally, Kachnar holds a special place in Indian traditions—its buds and flowers are used in cooking, while its bark and leaves are valued in Ayurveda for treating ailments such as ulcers and skin diseases.
