[[File:Bhavamga (Kannada- ಭವಮ್ಗ) (3803427949).jpg|thumb|right|''Jyotishmati'', ''Celastrus paniculatus'']]
'''Jyotishmati''' is a deciduous, climbing shrub producing stems up to 10 metres long and 25cm in diameter. The stems twine into the surrounding vegetation, helping to support themselves by means of hooked prickles. The plant is harvested from the wild for local use as a medicine and source of oil. The oil has gained a high reputation medicinally and is exported for use in a range of medications.
