and fragrant flowers take prominent
place as offerings to the gods. whilst
the leaves or flowers of other plants
are held sacred either for special his

semhlance to mystical objects. The list
OF flowers held sacred by the Hindoos
alone Is an immensely long one. The

Gated TO the god Krishuu. The flowers
