For that feminine touch - Wearing the flower

Ladies generally in South India(office going,house wives,students and youth's) wear strings of flowers in their plaits or jadai.This adds a very feminine touch to them.The flowers that are genrally used are jasmine(Mallipoo and Mulai) and Kanakambaram flowers(crossandra flowers).The flowers infuses freshness to the person,who ever is wearing it.The jasmine is usually harvested during summer,it has to be handled very delicately and it is transported to various markets fresh.Jasmine has that fragrance,which is kind of divine,whereas the kanakambaram,which is pinkish and orangish in colour does not have fragrance in it.Jasmine comes in thin as well as rounded variety.Ladies wearing this flowers,symbolise a unique South Indian culture.The flowers usually don't stay for long,just for a day only.Oflate,with modernism/hair styles,creeping all over,this practisis slowly diminishing.But in semi urban and rural areas,it is kind of de rigour to follow this unique trend.
