Anand Sagar
Anand Sagar
Overview
Anand Sagar is a pure landrace sativa strain originating from North-West India at a latitude of 32°N and elevation of 2100 meters above sea level (6900 feet). The name translates to "ocean of happiness" in Hindi, with "Anand" meaning happiness and "Sagar" meaning ocean. This strain was discovered through a friendship with an Indian yoga teacher who found a naturally occurring cannabis plant growing wild on his mountain property year after year. The teacher would use this plant occasionally while teaching and playing traditional instruments like tablas and harmonium.
Anand Sagar represents a beautiful example of a fine sativa landrace with a very peculiar and unmistakable structure. The plant exhibits great vigor and natural resistance to moisture and pests, making it well-adapted to its harsh mountain environment. It displays the classic characteristics of traditional Indian sativa genetics, having evolved naturally over generations in the challenging high-altitude conditions of the North-West Indian mountains. The strain maintains its pure landrace genetics without hybridization, preserving the ancient genetic lineage that has adapted to its specific terroir over countless generations.
