The photo shows a colorful, feathery creature. People are claiming that it is Nagapushpa (or Naga Pushpa), the rare snake flower found in the Himalayas. Some claim that the rare flower grows in the Himalayas only once in 36 years. (Click here and here to view the posts). [...] It is evident that the viral image is not of a flower called Naga Pushpa that blooms once every 36 years. It's a photo of a sea pen, a type of coral. Hence, the claim is false.
