Bangla Lotus or Padma Flower

The Bangla Padma Flower or Lotus?

The colour of the lotus flower is basically a mixture of red, white and pink. Moreover, various species of lotus flowers can be seen. Among them are red, white and blue flowers. In almost every natural reservoir of Bangladesh, lotus flowers can be seen blooming in the waters of haors, canals and lakes.

The flowers are 16-25 cm in diameter, solitary at the end of a long, cylindrical yellow colour. They are composed of numerous concave petals and pink, white or blue, with a bright yellow reproductive structure in the centre. Typically, these are very fragrant flowers and attract various pollinating insects responsible for the pollination process.

It's time to jump into the lake and plant water lilies and lotuses. So many questions in the minds of beauty lovers. Wondering where to go to meet the Padma, the queen of aquatic flowers! My favourite travel for you is the search for as many Padma Bills in Bengal.

Ghagutia
This region is located in Akhaura Upazila, 35 km away from Brahmanbaria. A part of the bill of lakhs of lotuses of Ghagutia on the horizon is worn in India. Since the lotus is considered sacred from a religious point of view, there is a special need for lake flowers in Durga Puja. Train from Dhaka to Akhaura, from there take CNG to Ghagutia BGB camp. This place can be a great destination on a day tour.


Gazaria
Take a bus from Dhaka to Faridpur, then from Faridpur to Gazaria Bazar. Bill Gazaria can be seen after going some distance on Sadarpur Road. The mind will be mesmerized by the touch of innumerable white centipedes. The gentle scent of lotus in the air. But be careful about getting on the bill. Lotus thorns can burst on the body!

Karpara
The location of this region is in Gopalganj. The distance from Dhaka to Gopalganj is also not very long. But if you can stay one day and go to the bill in the morning, you will see the smile of the boiling lotus. This smile will be memorable once seen. From Dhaka to Gopalganj by bus, then to Tom by car to Karpara Bazar. A 5-minute walk from the market you will find the Dhaka Balakir Bill covered with lotus flowers.


Jhiltuli
However, there is no bill in Jhiltuli of Faridpur. There is a pond. But what will happen if there is a pond, water is not seen in thousands of Padma here. So the crowd of Padma lovers stays here. The location of this pond is in the official residence of the Civil Surgeon in Faridpur Sadar. Go to Faridpur by bus from Dhaka.

Baraigram
In the village of Barai in Natore, there is now a collection of lotuses. Durga Puja is coming and this lotus will be needed for its organization. So naturally not only lotus is being produced here for sale. Buyers come here from outside the district to buy the Padma. The deputy commissioner is taking steps to increase production.

Saghata
Gaibandha's Saghata Upazila is full of magic and jharavarsha lakes. Blood lotus and white lotus flowers of two colours can be seen here.

Sabai Bill
The Sabai bill at Mohanpur in Rahshahi also blossomed at this time. You can go around the boat as long as you like. You can hum your favourite song to express your love on Padmapata. First, move from Dhaka to Rajshahi. If you go to Naogaon from Rajshahi Rail-gate, you will reach Mohanpur.

Ramnagar Char
Narail has to go by bus to see the Padma Fair at Ramnagar Char in Narail. Then from Narail to Ramnagar Bill.

White lotus pond
White lotus blooms in the pond of BIWTA in Barisal. It is not common to see so many white lotuses together. The red lotus is not as cheap as the white lotus. However, the lotus can be seen in this pond till July.

Wherever you go to see the lotus, you must find it first. Because of the heavy rains, many bills have sunk. The hill slopes have submerged the lotus lands of many lakes. To find out from someone if there are flowers in the bill. Flowers will be taken from the bill for worship. So travel before worship.

In which season does the lotus flower bloom?

Flowering begins in the rainy season. However, it blooms more in autumn and lasts till autumn. The beauty of the blossoming flower catches the eye. Fascinated by the form of the lotus flower in autumn, many poets have portrayed the colour of the lotus flower in different ways.

Lotus flower cultivation method at home

Whatever you don't use, use the pond water directly. ‌If you don't find it, mix mud and river soil or mixed soil. It is better to take the mother of the pond directly. Place the tuber (see photo) on top of the muddy soil and press it lightly into the soil.

Rules for planting lotus seeds

Lotus saplings can be planted in the main container in two ways. It can be planted in the ground directly under the water under the pot. Or you can put it in another small tub or pot with soil and put it under the water in a big pot with a tree. Remember that clay soil is required for water lilies and lotus trees.
