However, you could describe a dahlia using descriptive Sanskrit terms:
* "कन्दमूलोद्भवा" (kandamūlodhbhavā) - literally "born from a tuber," referring to its tuberous roots.
* "बहुदलिका" (bahudalikā) - meaning "with many petals," describing its characteristic flower structure.
* "रङ्गवती" (raṅgavati) - meaning "colorful," highlighting the wide range of colors dahlias come in.
You could also use a generic term like "पुष्पम्" (puṣpam) which simply means "flower."
