I saw beautifully decorated gates during Diwali. This is how India is. People settle for nothing less than fresh flowers for occasions.

In all festivities, conferences, weddings, and prayer meetings fresh flowers are decorated. It is also the custom to carry flowers on birthdays, births of kids, brides at weddings, dance and singing festivals, and the like. It means an occasion of positivity and happiness is marked with flowers.

I find that flowers, with their vibrant colors, delicate forms, and enchanting fragrances, fascinate people and it is not limited to India alone.

They are considered to be a symbol of beauty, love, and purity across cultures. However, beyond their aesthetic appeal, flowers also have a unique economic significance, as they support the livelihoods of various growers of flowers and inspire many artistic and therapeutic uses.

The beauty of flowers is due to their various types. Each type, Each flower whether it is a radiant rose, a gentle daisy, or an exotic orchid, has a different character and emotion.

Their appeal is universal, as they speak a language beyond words, as it celebrates love, loss, joy, and renewal. Flowers possess a beauty that uplifts spirits and connects people.
