Morpankhi (botanical name: Platycladus orientalis, formerly Thuja orientalis), commonly known as Oriental Arborvitae or the Thuja plant, is a highly popular evergreen coniferous shrub.
The name "Morpankhi" translates to "peacock feather" in Hindi, a nod to its unique, flattened fan-like branches that closely resemble the beautiful symmetry of a peacock's crest. Prized in landscaping for its distinct cone-shaped growth, rich green color, and year-round structural beauty, it is also considered a symbol of good luck and prosperity in many homes.
