Thalam Poo / Screw Spine Flower Kambi Kolam

This Talam poo Kambi kolam is more than decoration. It’s a daily ritual of welcome, patience, and positivity — inviting prosperity and good energy into the home. The graceful loops that weave around each dot without breaking symbolize continuity and togetherness.

The Fragrant Flower of Auspiciousness

Known as Thazhampoo in Tamil, Thalam Poo or Screw Pine flower (Pandanus odorifer / Kewda) is one of the most fragrant and auspicious flowers in our tradition.

With its long, creamy-white petals and intense, divine scent, Thalam Poo is considered very dear to Goddess Devi. It is a symbol of prosperity, purity and good fortune. In many homes in Tamil Nadu and Kerala, a single Thalam Poo is kept in the pooja room during festivals, especially for Varalakshmi Vratham, Navratri and Aadi Velli, as its fragrance is believed to invite Goddess Lakshmi and bring positive energy.

The flower is also used to make natural perfumes, garlands and for decorating the deity because its scent lasts for a long time. In Ayurveda, it is valued for its cooling fragrance.
