Do you not have the custom of scattering flowers in the month of Chaitra?
No, not anymore. But it was there before. We used to scatter fyuli (beautiful yellow flower) and other flowers in the morning for eight days. First the flowers were put on the stove, then on both sides of the doorstep. They were also put on the doorstep of the temple. Now only a few do this, not everyone. We never brought flowers in empty vessels; we used to put a little rice in them. Bringing flowers in empty vessels is considered disrespectful to the flowers.
