As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, there isn't a widely recognized or scientifically known plant called "karkatshrungi." It's possible that the name refers to a regional or local name for a plant that might be known by a different botanical or common name.
If "karkatshrungi" is a local name, its importance could be specific to a particular culture or region. It's not uncommon for different cultures to have unique names for plants with local significance, whether for traditional medicinal uses, cultural rituals, or other purposes.
If you have access to local botanical or ethnobotanical resources or if there have been developments in plant research since my last update, you may find more information about the plant and its importance. Consider consulting local botanical experts, ethnobotanists, or relevant regional resources for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
