The Erukkan Araignan Kodi, or Crown Flower Garland, is a significant item in Hindu tradition, crafted from the sacred Erukkan plant (Calotropis gigantea) associated with Lord Shiva. Believed to have divine origins from the ocean's churning, this garland is used primarily for protection against the evil eye and negative energies. It is hung at home entrances or worn to ward off harmful influences.

Additionally, the garland is valued for its spiritual purification properties, enhancing positive vibrations during rituals. In Ayurveda, the Erukkan plant is noted for treating various ailments, including skin conditions, fever, and respiratory issues. Offering these flowers to deities, especially Lord Shiva, is also thought to strengthen spiritual connections and invoke divine blessings.
