Kapau Flower,Assam,india

"KAPAU FLOWER" is the state flower of Assam and Rongali Bihu is incomplete without this flower. Its a very beautiful purple coloure orchid. We have it at home and as a kid, I still  remember waiting for it to bloom so that we can use it during bihu. Young women perform Bihu, the traditional dance, wearing Muga attire and decorated with kapou on their head/hair and traditional ornaments.

This flower is the part and parcel of the Assamese community.
