Palash or Bastard Teak ( Butea Monosperma ) is also known as Flame Of Forest. It is said that the tree is a form of Agni, God of Fire. It was a punishment given to Him by Goddess Parvati for disturbing Her and Lord Shiva's privacy. Imagining the Vagina as Agni, I have represented this flower as Vagina in a two photo series.
