Aak (Phool) White (Dried)- Madar (Flower) - Aakda Phool - Aankde Ka Phool - Gul Madar - Crown Flower - Arka - Giant Milkweed - Calotropis Gigantea

Aak (Phool) White (Dried) the sacred, crown-like blossoms of Calotropis procera (White Variety) is one of the most potent and spiritually charged botanicals in the Vedic world. Known as Arka (meaning "Sun"), this plant is a solar powerhouse that thrives in the harshest heat. While the purple variety is common, the White Aak is a rare, Sattvic treasure, specifically dedicated to the worship of Lord Shiva and Lord Ganesha for its ability to neutralize Visha (negativity and toxins).
