 According to the traditional Hindu calendar, each person, according to his or her time of birth, is born under one of the 27 Nakshatras or constellations, which has a particular star sign assigned to it in traditional Hindu astrology. Each of the plants in the high court complex garden has also some medicinal properties. And the 27 plants are said to have medical utility whose efficacy is matched with the star sign under which one is born. Many people thronged the Kerala High Court premises in search of their sign’s peculiar medical plant. Many of those who visited admitted they had never before heard that according to their star sign, there were also plants that work for their benefit. Inaugurating the garden, Justice Chellur watered a “Perallu” (ficus) sapling which is the tree that matches her star, which in the traditional state calendar is called “makhom”. High Court of Kerala have a garden committee that consists of judges, and it was they who first mooted the idea of opening a ‘medicinal plant garden’. It appears from the response that this has been welcomed by many. |
