Flowers and Positive Energy

Vishu is coming.......

Flowers may be the most beautiful creation of God. Different varieties, colours, shapes and smell. Its a part of our life. We can't even think of a marriage without Jasmine. According to our culture flowers are very auspicious. Most of the flowers had legendary connection with our gods and goddesses. Vishu the term itself remembers of 'Kanikkonna'. Onam and onapookkalam again reminds the flowers. In Ramayana Rama tells Lakshmana that who offers leaf, flower, fruit or water to the god he will be blessed. Flowers bring positive energy into us. Just imagine the fragrance of Jasmine, gandharajan, Pala poo, Ilanji poo, Coffee flower, pichi flower, Rose flower and many more.

We use lot of flowers for pooja in temples.

Meaning of vadamalli is it will not fade. Its a very common plant in Kerala. Flowers used to make 'Chendu' for marriages and its a main flower in 'Athapoo'.

Mithuna mazha....

Everyone like them, may be because of their colour, because of the smell or may be for their appearance. These yellow flowers are very common in Kerala. These plants do not need much nourishing. The images of flowers give us joy. I always surf in flicker for variety of flowers just to see them. These flowers make us more attached to nature.

Allichenthamara is the name of the flower. Very pretty flower from Kerala.

A hasty shot because of the rains. Flowers are from the Shastri Nagar in Kochi.

'Manassil mithuna mazha pozhiyum azhakil oru mayilin alasa lasyam...'

Flowers bring a lot of positiveness into my mind. Especially rains make them more lovely. These shots are taken after a rain. Flowers are part of our culture too. Jasmine (mulla poo) is an inevitable part of marriage. Garlands, decoration of stage, decorate the hair of bride and other relatives....more and more. One of my relative was very keen to keep fresh flowers inside the house. She arranged them according to its height and colour. It will give an elegant look to the room and a positive sign to the visitors. Some days she had done it with some grass flowers. Every part of the nature has its own beauty. Our attitude is the main thing. Now fresh flowers became a vast business area. Hotels and other business institutions need fresh flower arrangement inside the rooms. Flower arrangement thus became a special area in interior designing. In the film'Swapanakkoodu' Kamal explored the story of two sisters selling flowers.
