==Confusion about the Brahma Kamal flower==
In Hindu drawings Brahma is seen sitting on a pink flower that resembles a lotus (Sanskrit: कमल), which is India's national flower. Hence people claim that the pink flower of ''Nelumbo nucifera'' is the Brahma Kamal. However others claim the flower on which he is sitting, which resembles a lotus is sprouted from the belly button of Lord Vishnu. The flower which Brahma is holding in one of his four hands, a white flower resembling ''Saussurea obvallata'' is the Brahma Kamal. There are people who claim that the flower of ''Epiphyllum oxypetalum'', the orchid cactus, which blooms at night, is the Brahma Kamal. Some North Indians claim that the flower of ''Saussurea obvallata'' is the Brahma Kamal.
