A type of couch grass or pasture grass found in India and parts of Asia; also known as Bermuda grass or durva grass.
From Hindi/Sanskrit 'dūrvā,' referring to sacred grass used in Hindu rituals and Ayurvedic medicine. The name traveled into English through colonial contact with India.
In Hindu tradition, doob grass is so sacred that it's used in religious ceremonies and believed to have healing properties—the same plant that becomes common 'crabgrass' in Western lawns!
