Firstly, ythey are bouught loose and strung into garlands, which are used for any festive occasion as well as inside temples: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/jayanand/album254/Mylapore/Kapaleshwar_20110317_056-Edit.jpg.html http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/jayanand/album254/Mylapore/DSCF0728.jpg.html http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/jayanand/album254/Mylapore/Mylapore-20131102-073.jpg.html Small jasmine strings are also used universally as a decoration tucked into women's hair - including in my house, where a flower lady delivers these daily (they have a divine smell, so I think it is as much used for the perfume aspect as for the beauty) The other use is for use in the daily pooja (prayer) in temples, houses, wherever - where loose flowers are an essential part of the ritual: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/jayanand/album254/Mylapore/Mylapore_20121215_060.jpg.html http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/jayanand/India/Kanchi/Kanchi_20121231_120.jpg.html Cheers Jayanand On Mon, Jun 16, 2014 at 10:52 PM, George Lottermoser <george.imagist at icloud.com> wrote: > > On Jun 16, 2014, at 11:54 AM, Jayanand Govindaraj wrote: > >> Counting the Cash: >> http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/jayanand/album254/parrys/Parrys-20140221-051.jpg.html > > enjoying all of your market (well really all your subjects) photography > > can't help wondering about the selling of flowers in this form. > are these for sachets and potpourri type uses? > > Regards, > George Lottermoser > > http://www.imagist.com > http://www.imagist.com/blog > http://www.linkedin.com/in/imagist > > > _______________________________________________ > Leica Users Group. > See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information
