Gunugu Poovu, also known as Mayilam Poo, is a type of flower commonly used in traditional rituals, decorations, and festivals in South India, particularly in Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh. The flower resembles the feathers of a peacock, which is why it is sometimes referred to as "Mayilam Poo" (mayil means peacock in Tamil).

This flower is often used in garlands and for adorning idols in temples, due to its unique beauty and spiritual significance. It's also believed to bring good luck and prosperity. The flowers are delicate, colourful, and are an integral part of cultural ceremonies, including weddings and religious festivals like Navaratri.
