Request following information on "dharbam"
1. It's botanical name
2. Availability for cultivation in the home garden (seed-seedling?)
3. What is the scriptural basis of its sacredness?
4. Is it same as Kusha grass
5. Any modern scientific research on this grass
6. Whatever else
I have been enrolled in this group for less than a week. I am enjoying the
discussion- In fact the most recent one on Bilva was very interesting and that
is what made me to raise this issue.
