Flowers are essential for 'Sankashti Chaturthi' and other fasts. Picking 'Durva' (grass) and flowers is a sacred morning task. Public parks often have strict rules against picking flowers to preserve beauty for all visitors. Flowers often symbolize the soul or beloved in 'Bhavgeet' (emotional songs).
Don't smell first!
