Neelakurinji Photo exhibition at Maharaja's College
A photo exhibition of Strobilanthes kunthiana (Neelakurinji) was organized by Bhoomithra Sena in association with Department of Botany on 14th November 2023.
The exhibition was inaugurated by Principal, Dr. Jayamol KV. Nearly 65 photographs of Neelakurinji by Dr. Jomy Augustine, former Head of the Department of Botany at St. Thomas College, Pala, were on display at the venue. An expert in Neelakurinji, he had traversed the full length of the Western Ghats in search of the magic weaved by the protected species. Dr. Augustine said that he had travelled to the hill ranges on several occasions to document the various species and that each variety had its own special features and helped in capturing the magic moments of the flower that blossoms only during certain years. It was his 35th exhibition of photographs on Neelakurinji at the Maharaja’s College. Students from nearby Colleges visited the exhibition.
