KORAI KILANGU

Korai Kilangu (Cyperus rotundus), commonly called Nutgrass or Purple Nutsedge, is a perennial herbaceous plant widely found across India and tropical regions. Its underground rhizomes are slender, aromatic, and have been mentioned in classical Siddha and Ayurvedic texts for their significance in traditional medicine. Valued for centuries, Korai Kilangu is closely tied to India’s herbal heritage, often collected for its role in natural remedies and cultural practices. Its enduring presence reflects the deep-rooted knowledge of native botanicals in South Indian traditions.
