“I am coming from Tamil Nadu for a flower sale. We are getting a good sale this Onam season, especially when Kerala is celebrating full-fledged Onam after the Covid pandemic. Marigold is the most selling item here. It costs 150 per kg. People are coming from morning itself to buy flowers,” the seller said.
Another seller, named Rahul said that the demand for the flowers is increasing day by day, especially the white and violet flowers are costing Rs 300 per kg.
“The sales are on. And the demand is increasing day by day. But the competition between flower sellers is also increasing.

We are collecting flowers from Coimbatore and other places in Tamil Nadu,” another seller told ANI.
