We have a poem named Kondrai vEnthan. Siva adorns his head with the kondrai - hence 'kondrai vEnthan'

minnAr cenjadaimEl milir kondrai aninthavanE
- ThevAram, Sundaramoorthy.

I think the 'sarak kondrai' is commonly refered to as 'kondrai' - Cassia fistula L.

  This flower also has a very imaginative name 'Chinese Lantern'. Thanks for the pictures and info.
