Brahma Kamal, scientifically known as Saussurea obvallata, is a rare and beautiful flowering plant that is native to the Himalayan region. It is found in various parts of the Himalayas, including India, Nepal, and Bhutan. Brahma Kamal is known for its distinctive lotus-like appearance and its role in Hindu mythology.

In India, it can be found in higher altitudes of the Himalayan states, such as Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Jammu and Kashmir. It typically thrives at elevations above 3,000 meters (approximately 10,000 feet) and is often seen in alpine meadows and regions with cold, high-altitude climates.

Brahma Kamal is also the state flower of Uttarakhand, where it is protected due to its cultural and ecological significance. It is considered a sacred and rare flower in Hindu culture and is often associated with Lord Brahma, one of the principal deities in Hinduism.
