Flower Garlands play an important role in the culture and traditions of India, crossing all religious and economic lines. Garlands are used for all ceremonies and welcome rituals: weddings, birthdays, offerings to Temples and blessings, now not exclusively for Hindus.

Garlands are also used for other special occasions like public meetings and house warmings.  They are always handmade in cottage industry throughout India.
