According to Buddhist belief, heavenly flowers, such as the Mandarava, are said to bloom in Trayastrimsa. These flowers are considered divine and are associated with celestial beings and heavenly realms. They are believed to possess exquisite fragrance and beauty beyond anything found on Earth.
In Buddhist cosmology, Trayastrimsa is considered one of the heavenly realms or celestial abodes. It is believed to be located on the peak of Mount Meru, a mythical mountain that represents the centre of the universe. Trayastrimsa is often described as a magnificent realm inhabited by celestial beings, including various gods and deities.
The Mandarava flower is considered a celestial flower that belongs to the divine realm and is not found in the human world. Its appearance is associated with significant events in the life of the Buddha, such as his birth, enlightenment, and death. The presence of the Mandarava flower serves as a symbolic tribute and an indication of the Buddha’s transcendence.
Phra Maha Kassapa Thera, also known as Mahakassapa in Pali, was one of the important disciples of the Buddha. He is considered one of the foremost arahants (fully enlightened beings) and a key figure in the early Sangha (Buddhist monastic community) upon hearing the news of the Buddha’s passing and his stay in Kushinagar, encounters a priest carrying the Mandarava flower. This encounter confirms to Phra Maha Kassapa that the Buddha has indeed passed away, as the Mandarava flower is believed to appear only in such circumstances.
The description of the city of Kusinara being filled with Mandarava flowers after the Buddha’s passing signifies the devotion and veneration of the devas (celestial beings) and Mallas (local inhabitants) towards the body of the Buddha. The flowers, along with other offerings, were used to pay homage, respect, and veneration to the Bodhisattva’s body.
It’s worth noting that the Tripitaka is a vast collection of Buddhist scriptures, and different traditions and schools within Buddhism may have variations in their interpretations of specific passages or stories.

It is believed to be located on the peak of Mount Meru, a mythical mountain that symbolizes the centre of the universe.
The connection of this fragrance is the heavenly flowers with the presence of my grandmother, who passed away years ago. It is a poetic and touching way to imagine her in a realm of peace and tranquillity, surrounded by the beauty and fragrance of these heavenly blooms. Each note represents Buddhism and sacred incense.
