Removing flowers from a plant.
خلفية ثقافية
Public parks often have guards specifically to prevent people from plucking flowers. It is considered a civic duty to leave them for others to enjoy. Flowers are plucked to be laid on the graves of saints. This is a respectful act of devotion called 'Phool charhana'. The 'Gul-chin' (flower-plucker) is a common trope representing the person who takes away the beloved or destroys beauty. Fresh flowers are plucked to make 'Gajray' (flower bangles) for the bride and her friends, a staple of the 'Mehndi' ceremony.
Watch the 'ne'!
Remember that in the past tense, you must say 'Maine phool tora', not 'Main phool tora'.
Politeness Matters
If you must ask someone to pick a flower for you, use 'Toriye' instead of 'Toro'.
