We saw this flower vendor at Mullik Ghat (one of the most photographed places in Calcutta). He’s selling small yellow flowers strung together. These flowers are usually found being offered in various temples in India.

I wish I can get to India someday. Such a beautiful country based on what I’ve read in magazines and in the movies. And of course here on the Net like this one.

Aw nice capture. I wonder what kind of flower is that. Parang everlasting lang saten hehe, mas sosyal nga lang to.
marigold daw yata yung name… dont know much about it too
I think they are called “genda” which is used in prayers as offering to the gods.
thanks for the info Shalu
You are most welcome. These “genda ka phool” (the genda flowers) are very common in India and used extensively in prayers.
