Sheelavathi 2021 is a seed accession of the cannabis line that the Indian Landrace Exchange lists in its genetic library as Sheelavathi. The group describes it as a newer type of the long-flowering ganja of Kerala, selected by ganja-growing communities in the hills of the border between Andhra Pradesh and Odisha, and says that it is named after a local goddess the farmers worship.[1] The online shop Full Power Selections, which sells the group's books and many of its lines, lists it as Sheelavathi, in stock when checked on 21 October 2026.[2]
Geography
The entry names the villages of Hukumpeta, Ananthagiri, Paderu, Dumbriguda, Pedabayalu, G. Madugula, Munchingi Puttu and G. K. Veedhi as the places known for growing it.[1] These villages lie in the Eastern Ghats of Andhra Pradesh.
History
According to the group, eradication drives around 2000 displaced cannabis growing around Idukki and the Andhra–Odisha border, the farmers were pushed back into denser forest, and a number of tribes became communities that grew ganja for a living. It says that the villagers learned to keep seed from better-looking, higher-yielding and faster-finishing plants, and it calls Sheelavathi the third generation of Idukki Gold.[1] An article on the group's site of February 2019 gives the same account.[3]
Botanical Characteristics
The entry describes dense, hard buds and leaves darker than those of Kerala Gold, a flowering time of about 14 to 16 weeks, a smell of wild flowers and spice, and a taste of pine and hashish.[1]
