Gulab Patti - Gul - e - Surkh - Rose Petals - Rosa Gallica – Dry Rose Petal

Gulab Patti the naturally shade-dried petals of the sacred Desi Gulab (Rosa centifolia) is the "Queen of the Heart" in the Ayurvedic tradition. Known as Shatapatri ("the one with a hundred petals"), the rose is a timeless symbol of Hridaya-Shakti (heart energy). Unlike many hybrid varieties, the Desi Rose is revered as a concentrated form of Soma (lunar nectar), traditionally valued for supporting harmony among the three Doshas, especially Sadhaka Pitta the subtle aspect of Pitta associated with emotional balance, clarity, and the aspirations of the heart.
