Bermuda grass, or durva, is a low, creeping perennial grass that spreads by runners and forms dense mats. It grows in warm regions worldwide and is found everywhere in India, including Kerala, where it is called karuka.

Known in Sanskrit as Durva, it is sacred in Hindu worship. The whole plant is used in Ayurveda, and its fresh juice and paste are traditionally applied in cooling skin-care preparations.
