The rare flower blooms on the first day of every year, on the 1st of Baisakh, in the famous religious and historical Salahesh Flower Garden, west of Lahan Bazaar and south of the Fisheries Center.
The phenomenon of sudden blossoming of a huge harem tree on the morning of Baisakh 1 and its drying up in the evening has become an unbelievable and curious thing for everyone.
This miraculous flower, which has been blooming since the 6th and 7th centuries AD, blooms in the morning and withers in the evening on Baisakh 1, has become a subject of wonder and curiosity in itself. What is the flowering tree associated with the biography of Salahesh, the hero of the internationally acclaimed epic deity of Dushad caste, the most backward among the Dalits? This question has become a subject of study and research for botanists.
According to locals, this has become a legend. Dina Malini, who loves Salahesh with all her heart, could not marry Salahesh because Salahesh was already married to Malini's friend. Every year on the first day of Baishakh, she promises to wait for Sahalesh in the same tree of Haaram. There is a legend that every year on the first day of Baisakh. Malini appeared by becoming a garland waiting for Salesh.
Fairs are traditionally held every year at Mahisotha, Nan Mahari Parbat, Chopra Chauri, Biratpur, Triveni Dham, Pakdiyagarh and Manik Daham, which are associated with the legend of King Salahesh. On the first day of Baishakh, orchid-shaped flowers bloom on the Haaram tree in the flower garden. Thousands of visitors from home and abroad come to see this flower. This flower and the flower garden of Salahesh are still giving life to the story of King Salahesh. It is said that, King Salahesh used to bathe in Daham on the same day, pick flowers in the flower garden, play wrestling in the Sylhet arena, worship the deity and listen to the joys and sorrows of the people.
The Salahesh Flower Garden is famous for the love affair between King Salahesh of Mysota and his beloved Malini. There is a legend in Salahesh Phulbari (gardens) that if a love marriage takes place, the marriage will be successful and children will be born. Young people respect the Haaram tree as a 'love point'.
