Garlands

Garlands

These mango leaf and Genda ka phool, or marigolds, garlands are believed to absorb negative energy and keep a pure environment. The marigold is used as a torona because of it's unpleasant odor that keeps pests away. Torana means gateway in Sanskrit, and is tied to the frame of houses and shops.
