Essential Navratri Puja Flowers
- Marigold (Genda) — The quintessential Navratri flower. Strings of marigolds (haar) are offered to all nine forms of Durga. Orange and yellow varieties are most auspicious.
- Rose — Red roses are offered to Goddess Durga. Rose petals scattered at the base of the idol are a common practice.
- Lotus (Kamal) — Sacred to Goddess Lakshmi. Fresh lotus flowers, when available seasonally, are the most revered offering.
- Jasmine (Mogra) — Fragrant and pure. Jasmine strings are used to decorate the mandir.
Navratri Garba Night Decoration Ideas
- Marigold hanging strings — Strings of interlocked orange marigolds hung from poles or doorways create an instantly festive atmosphere.
- Rose petal rangoli — A bed of red and white rose petals at the entrance is a beautiful, traditional welcome.
- Mixed centrepieces — Orange marigolds, red roses, and tall orange gerberas in brass urns look spectacular at garba nights.
