Madatiya Seeds Adenanthera pavonina Saga Seed Tree Red Sandalwood Coral Tree

Adenanthera pavonina, commonly known as the Saga tree, is a species of legume native to Southeast Asia and the Indian subcontinent. It is a medium-sized tree that is known for its distinctive red seeds, which are commonly referred to as Saga seeds or Red Lucky Seeds.

The Saga seeds are flattened and circular in shape, with a glossy red or orange-red color. They have a smooth texture and a hard outer shell. The seeds are typically 1 to 1.5 centimeters in diameter and are often used for decorative purposes, jewelry making, and as good luck charms in various cultures.

The Saga seeds are believed to bring good luck, prosperity, and protection against evil spirits in many Asian countries. They are often strung together to make necklaces, bracelets, or rosaries. In some cultures, the seeds are also used in traditional medicine for their supposed healing properties.

It's worth noting that while Saga seeds are beautiful and culturally significant, they are not edible and can be toxic if ingested. Therefore, it is important to handle them with care and keep them away from children and pets.
