This is the shop where they make the Indian Wedding Garlands. For Hindu weddings, they will usually use a long flora necklace called the "Jaimala" which symbolizes the couple's respect for each other and their promise to accept one another. Garlands are actually one of the beautiful and colourful part of the traditional Indian weddings. It can also be quite expensive if purchased from a florist shop. So, usually people will buy the flowers and make the garlands themselves.
