Abstract

Himachal Pradesh's flower fields are experiencing a surge in demand as India celebrates the nine-day Shardiya Navratri festival. The region's vibrant marigolds, dahlias, and calendulas are being ordered in abundance by prominent shrines such as Mata Vaishno Devi, Chintpurni, Naina Devi, and Brajeshwari Devi temples for grand floral decorations. The flowers, both indigenous and imported, are used to adorn altars and pathways, creating a visually delightful experience for devotees. The floriculture sector in Himachal Pradesh is thriving, with farmers growing commercial varieties of flowers like marigold, carnation, tulip, and rose. [Extracted from the article]
