意思
Flowers strung together for decoration.
文化背景
The 'Mala Badal' is the most significant part of a Hindu wedding, where the couple exchanges garlands three times to show their mutual acceptance. Specific flowers are used for specific gods. For example, red hibiscus (Jaba) garlands for Goddess Kali, and yellow marigold (Genda) for Lord Ganesha. In South Asian politics, the size of the 'Phuler Mala' given to a leader often represents the level of support or the 'weight' of the welcome. At Bengali New Year (Poila Baisakh), it is common to see people, especially women, wearing small jasmine 'Phuler Mala' in their hair.
Freshness Matters
Always use the adjective 'Taja' (fresh) when buying. 'Taja phuler mala' will get you the best quality.
The '-er' Suffix
Never forget the '-er'. 'Phul Mala' sounds like 'Flower Garland' in a broken, robotic way.

Wedding Etiquette
If you are invited to a Bengali wedding, bringing a 'Phuler Tora' (bouquet) is common, but the 'Phuler Mala' is usually provided by the hosts.
