Flowers have many uses in our everyday life. No Pooja is complete without the use of strands or garlands of flowers and loose flowers. In spite of artificial alternatives, natural flowers have a permanent place on such occasions. A variety of flowers in the neighbourhood would be collected by men, women and children early morning and the beautiful creations of nature used to be turned into lovely thick garlands or lengthy strands, with deft hands to adorn portraits of deities or ancestors. The sweet smell of flowers is replaced with synthetic deodorants and perfumes. At the entrance of temples and places of tourist interest we can still find competing of flower vendors. In Madurai, Jasmine strands are sold by the number and the way the counting is done is bound to astonish the first-time visitor.
