Marigold accompanied every important moment of the Indians.

Indians can't live without marigold for the holidays. Most festivals in India are related to religion, and the most important ceremony is to worship God, and marigold is a necessity to worship God. There are many marigold vendors outside every temple in India. Some marigolds for sale are in the shape of garlands. A garland is more than two meters long, and there are hundreds of marigolds. This kind of wreath can be hung directly on the gods or presented to them. There are also marigolds sold in bulk. Indians will put some marigold in a small dish dedicated to the gods and give it to the gods together with other offerings. In India, marigold is sacred, symbolizing "purity", also known as "sacred flower". There are many religions in India. Different religions believe in different gods. But these gods of different religions seem to accept marigold. During the festival, many Indian families will decorate a zongzi at the door or in the yard. Rangoli is a beautiful circular pattern drawn with colored chalk, and rangoli will also be covered with a layer of marigold.

Marigold is a necessity for Indians to make pujia. Puja refers to the worship ceremony of believers in major religions in India. In India, you can see the Falun Gong anytime and anywhere. At important moments such as the birth of a baby, the marriage of a new couple, the entrance of a student, the opening of a shop and the establishment of a company, a ceremony will be held for the blessing of the gods. Marigold is an essential sacrifice in all families. The fantastic river lantern shown in the movie "Fantasy Drifting of Boys and Girls" is Pujia, which is filled with marigold.

People in China use roses and lilies at weddings and chrysanthemums at funerals. But in India, marigold is indispensable for both happy events and funerals. When Indians hold weddings, they like to hang marigolds at the door. Rich people can cover the whole door and wall with marigold. Most funerals in India are cremated, and a layer of marigold will be laid on the crematorium. After the firewood is lit, the corpse and marigold will burn to ashes together, so that marigold can protect the soul of the deceased and live in the paradise. Many Indians usually hang marigolds at their doorsteps to pray for blessings, especially during the COVID-19 epidemic, because they believe that marigolds can drive away viruses and plagues. It is important to note that marigolds can't be hung on the wall at home, especially on the wall with photos, because only under the portrait of the deceased's family can a semicircle of marigolds be hung.

Big cities in India generally have flower markets, specializing in flower wholesale business. The largest and most famous flower market in India is Kolkata, next to the famous Khorada Railway Bridge. There is no doubt that the protagonist of the flower market is marigold, and a certain position at the bridge head is the favorite of photographers, from which you can photograph the golden lantern sea stretching for hundreds of meters. Indians also have a unique way of transporting marigold. They will wrap dozens or hundreds of marigold flowers in a huge cloth and then put this huge flower on their heads.

In the eyes of foreigners, marigold has become a symbol of India. The British media once filmed a documentary reflecting the western elderly's medical tourism and pension in India. The name of this film is Marigold Hotel.
