CONCEPT :

The marigold flower is often associated with South Asia, but it was originally
cultivated in Mexico by the Aztec people.

Hindu worship practices vary significantly by culture, family, language, and demographics. An interesting fact is that the significance of marigolds differs dramatically between North Indian and South Indian Hindu practices.

Unlike North India, where marigolds are used in worship, South Indian temples do not allow them. Once, I brought marigolds to a South Indian Ganesha temple, and the priest, visibly upset and unable to explain due to limited English, told me they are not allowed in South Indian temples and directed me to a North Indian temple.

I later learned from a South Indian Muslim friend from Hyderabad, India, that marigolds are only used for decoration, not worship, in South Indian mosques, temples, and dargahs.

This may relate to their use in Mexico's Day of the Dead to honor ancestors, which aligns with South Indian traditions, where ancestor reverence is especially important. In South India, different faiths often visit each other's worship places, highlighting regional interconnectedness.

Temples and houses of worship are associated with happiness and peace, so they avoid offering anything reminding them of death.

This original design is a repeat pattern of marigolds and roses. It combines marigolds with handpicked roses from my garden for Hindu puja garlands, as roses are preferred for their fragrance and beauty.
