Which Indian flowers are best to use for a flower garland (mala)?
For the method of preparation, please follow Megha's advice. Good flowers for garlands are nerium odorum, marigold, jasmine, tube rose, champa etc. Nerium odorum is the most heavenly fragranced flower, commonly grown and available in peninsular India. In South India it is fairly common in venis and malas. You can use any flower you fancy, its just that highly fragranced flowers are usually preferred. Roses and hibiscuses tend to be inserted in the hair singly, but there is no reason why they could not be incorporated in a multi flower garland. Leaves can also be interspersed between the flowers. If you keep ready garlands in a thin plastic bag in the fridge they remain fresh for a couple of days.

Reply:Marigold and it's leaves are used the most. Some petals of roses also looks pretty. Take a needle(with a big hole) and pass a thick thread through it. Then prick the flowers with that needle and tie a knot as tightly as you can. To keep them fresh for a long time, sprinkle them with water every now and then. Hope I helped. Good luck. :)-
