Floral tributes

There is no temple ritual without flowers and garlands. Florists around the Attukal temple have a good time during the Attukal Pongala festival. Most of them now employ more people to meet the huge demand of flowers and garlands. 'Making garlands is no easy job, skill is the most important part,' says Udayan who runs a flower shop. 'But this is a collective effort, and we enjoy the work,' he adds.
