Couroupita guianensis (Canon Ball Tree/ नागलिंग/நாகலிங்கம்)

I saw this flower first near the bus stop next to Lalit Kala Parishad kind of opposite to the Golf Park, kumarakripa or some krupa. Later, I saw the flowers being offered to shiva in Ramana Maharishi ashram. There were beautiful peacocks perched up on this tree screeching once in a while. There were two poojaris, who were trying to pluck the nagalingams for seva.
