The golden rain tree is native to India and is a deciduous tree. Its peak flowering season runs from June to August each year. When in bloom, the drooping petals hang like strings of lanterns from the treetops. As the flowers gradually open, the fresh green leaves at the crown of the tree also wither, making way for the golden-yellow blossoms that cover the entire canopy.

As the flowers fade and the wind blows, the petals fall like a gentle drizzle, creating a romantic and elegant atmosphere—hence its nickname, “golden rain.”
