Flowers for the Beloved

in GEMS5 years ago (edited)

In eastern part of India and especially in Odisha if you wake up in the wee hours of morning you would find people near flower trees. Not all trees with flowers, but few specific trees who's flower is used for puja. Every household has a small place dedicated to the gods and goddesses and these flowers are offered to them. Fresh flowers are daily offered to the deities. Hence you would see people scrambled around these flower trees in the morning. Though the covid situation has kept everyone indoors, it has not been able to stop people from getting flowers daily for their puja.
