The Sanskrit names of saffron point to the ancient Indian area of saffron production: Kashmirajanman [कश्मीरजन्मन्] “product of Kashmir” and kashmira [काश्मीर] “the one from Kashmir”; the second name, however, can also be used for other .298_plucks_saffron_flowers.jpg

Several superficially similar Indic names of saffron (Sanskrit kesaravara [केसरवर], Hindi kesar [केसर], Punjabi keshar [ਕੇਸ਼ਰ], Urdu kisar [کیسر]) are, however, not related but derive from Sanskrit kesara [केसर] “hair, eye-brow”, which refers to the thin, almost hairlike saffron threads.kesar.jpg
