Parijata or Night Jasmine is a flower which blooms at night.
It is also called Deva Pushpa means flower from heaven.
According to Hindu mythology , this flower or tree originated during Samudra Mathana .
King of heaven Indra had this tree and Shri Krishna had brought this tree from heaven.
But I am telling a love story of a princess named Parijata and Sun .
Princess Parijata started to love Sun.
Everyone warned her about heat of Sun but she didn't listen to anyone.
Even Sun himself tried to convince her. But she was adamant and then Sun also started loving her.
They were made for each other.
Sun came to earth to live with his love, Parijata.
Without Sun, whole world has come to standstill.
All the heavenly bodies are successful in convincing Sun to return to his work.
Parijata too followed him but she was burnt alive by the heat of Sun.
Sun was devastated by watching his love in ashes.
He requested the heavenly bodies to make Parijata to live again.
Heavenly bodies made a tree to born out of the ashes.
That tree is Parijata tree. The flowers of the tree bloom during night and they fall to ground as soon as the Sun rises in the east.
It is a remembrance of Princess Parijata and her love towards Sun and also her sacrifice.
