The National Flower ‘Lotus’ or water lily is an aquatic plant of Nymphaea species with broad floating leaves and bright fragrant flowers that grow only in shallow waters. The leaves and flowers float and have long stems that contain air spaces. The big attractive flowers have many petals overlapping in a symmetrical pattern. The root functions are carried out by rhizomes that fan out horizontally through the mud below the water.

Lotus, prized for their serene beauty, are delightful to behold as their blossoms open on the surface of a pond.

In India, the sacred lotus is legendary and much folklore and religious mythology is woven around it.

Lotus represents detachment (vairagya) The water touches it but cannot make it wet.

Similarly, the spiritual mind endures all adversities with a smile (sorrows around but not sorrowful).

Commanding a central presence in the timeless setting of India’s countryside, is the mighty Banyan, a tree endemic to the Indian subcontinent. For man it provides shelter and is a point where the village community gather and transact much of their affairs.

The tree is a veritable micro habitat for countless creatures. It releases maximum ozone in the atmosphere. Like the banyan, India shelters all race, caste, creed and religion. To them all, it gives wisdom.

The Indian peacock, Pavo cristatus (Linnaeus), the national bird of India, is a colourful, swan-sized bird with a fan-shaped crest of feathers on its head, a white patch under the eye and a long-slender neck. The male of the species is more colourful than the female with a glistening blue breast and neck and a spectacular bronze-green tail of around 200 elongated feathers. The female is brownish, slightly smaller than the male and lacks the tail. The elaborate courtship dance of the male by fanning out the tail and quivering the feathers is a gorgeous sight.

The peacock is widely found in the Indian sub-continent from the south and east of the Indus river, Jammu and Kashmir, East Assam, South Mizoram and the whole of the Indian peninsula. The peacock enjoys full protection under the Indian Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972.

Peacock represents a colourful life.

The Mayuri.....Our Story

Vibrant India

Tiger the magnificent animal is scientifically called the Panthera tigris (Linnaeus), the national animal of India, is a rich-coloured well-striped animal with a short coat. The combination of grace, strength, agility and enormous power has earned the tiger great respect and high esteem. Out of the eight races of the species known, the Indian race, the Royal Bengal Tiger is found throughout the country (except the north-western region) and also in the neighbouring countries like Nepal, Bhutan and Bangladesh. To check the dwindling population of tigers in India, which came down to just 1,827 in 1971, ‘Project Tiger’ was launched in April, 1973.

Since then, the tiger population has shown a gradual increase and the census of 1993 puts the tiger population of the country at 3,750. So far, 23 tiger reserves have been established in the country under this project, covering an area of 33,406 sqkm.

The tiger needs to be emulated to remain alert and swift while working towards our goals in life.

Hockey is the National Game of India. Unmatched excellence and incomparable virtuosity brought India a string of Olympic gold medals. The brilliant Indians brought a touch of magic to their play and the ball-juggling feats of the Indians were a sheer delight. The Golden Era of hockey in India was the period from 1928 - 1956

when India won 6 consecutive gold medals in the Olympics. During the Golden Era, India played 24 Olympic matches, won all 24, scored 178 goals (at an average of 7.43 goals per match) and conceeded only 7 goals. The two other gold medals for India came in the 1964 Tokyo Olympics and the 1980 Moscow Olympics.
