Parijatha flower believed to be brought to earth by Lord Krishna from heavenly abode. We use them extensively to perform poojas and consider holy. In childhood days or whenever we stay at native, picking fallen flowers early morning or late evening is a daily routine. They are woven to form a nice garland which then ornate the deity with natural fragrance.
It is difficult to get such flowers in Bengaluru flooded with fake vegetation and concrete structures. On my jog towards corner of layout, I found couple of trees shedding fresh flowers over the main road. There were no pickers. It was easy for me to grab plenty and use for today's pooja. There were many more but I did not have a proper container to fill them. Looks like nobody uses them extensively here but question arises why is it grown in that case. Hopefully my pickings are not considered as stolen since they were spread on public road.
I found the Parijata tree almost every corner of nearby street. Till now count stands at 3. Its good to see people plant such divine trees when city is spread with weeds
