Gomphrena Globosa Business In Nepal Blooms With Arrival Of Tihar
Florists weave garlands of Gomphrena Globosa, locally called the ''Makhmali'' flower, with the arrival of the festive season of Tihar in Gundu village of Bhaktapur, Nepal, on September 27, 2025. The village of Gundu in Bhaktapur is known for its supply of Marigold and Gomphrena Globosa for the festival of Tihar when demand skyrockets in the Nepali market and reaches the international market. The floral village, with a predominantly Newar settlement, begins preparations for flowers in February. Farmers sow seeds for the flowers by mid-March, and within a month and a half, the saplings are transferred into fields and are taken care of. Floriculture is done on 158 hectares of land, and around 44,000 people are directly and indirectly engaged in the sector. There are 800 commercial floriculturists in the country with a combined investment of Rs6.5 billion. (Photo by Subaas Shrestha/NurPhoto)
