Removing a flower from its stem
Contexto cultural
Flowers are central to Punjabi celebrations. However, plucking them from someone else's garden without permission is a significant social faux pas. In Gurdwaras, flowers are often used for decoration, but the emphasis is on 'Seva' (service). One must be respectful when gathering flowers for the Guru's presence. There is a folk belief that plants have feelings. Plucking flowers at night is often forbidden because it is believed to disturb the plant's rest. In cities like Chandigarh, 'Phull Todna Mana Hai' signs are iconic and represent the city's pride in its greenery.
