Valued for its striking bluish-black internal color, camphor-like fragrance, and numerous applications in traditional Indian medicine (Ayurveda) and spiritual rituals. This herbaceous plant is a rare and potent addition to any collection.

Krishna Kedar
Kaali Kachri
It is highly valued in traditional medicine and rituals due to its deep blue or blackish rhizome and unique camphor-like aroma.
Bring the highly prized Karumanjal, or Kali Haldi, to your garden. Unlike its common yellow cousin, Curcuma caesia is distinguished by its deep bluish-black rhizome, intense aroma, and powerful properties.
This tropical perennial is easy to grow in pots or in the ground, making it accessible even in non-tropical zones if brought indoors during cold weather. It features attractive foliage and a rewarding, albeit slow, growth habit.
Key Features & Uses:
Rhizome: Known as Black Turmeric, the rhizome is potent and distinct from regular turmeric.
Growing Conditions: Karumanjal thrives in partial shade or filtered sunlight and requires rich, well-drained soil. It prefers warm, humid conditions and needs consistent moisture during its growing season (monsoons). Harvest the rhizomes in late winter when the leaves begin to dry back.
