Flower sellers are usually women, but this flower shop has a boy who sells these garlands for offering at the temple. The garlands are made of jasmine, rose, yellow chrysanthemum , lotus , and with pink oleander blossoms.
Flower girls like this woman are a common sight on the roadside of south Indian cities. She makes strings of jasmine for the women to wear in their hair. She ties up the flowers dextrously with a string, without using a needle.This is my contribution to My World at http://showyourworld.blogspot.com

Ruma, your words are so poetic. Thank you.
Indrani, yes, that is probably the case.
Bram, thanks, and have a nice day.
Malar, the garlands are less in number now because the flowers are less. After a month there will be plenty of flowers.
Luna Miranda, jasmine is the universal favourite.
