Ravikāntapuṣpa (रविकान्तपुष्प) refers to “flowers which bloom during the day”; representing a type of Puṣpa (“flower”); it is a technical term related to the morphology branch of “plant science”, which ultimately involves the study of life history of plants, including its origin and development, their external and internal structures and the relation of the members of the plant body with one another.—The word ‘puṣpa’ denotes the blossomed stage when the parts of the flower such as petals, stamens etc. are opened and manifested. Flowers again may be divided into two types according to the dominating influence of the sun or the moon upon them. Flowers which bloom at night when the moon has its influence, are called candrakāntapuṣpa. Flowers which bloom during the day when the sun dominates are called ravikāntapuṣpa.

Traditional practice of Āyurveda in ancient India dates back to at least the first millenium BC. Literature is commonly written in Sanskrit using various poetic metres.
