Nepali florists pluck marigolds from the field to sell them in the local market as demand soars with the arrival of the festival of Tihar, also known as Diwali, on October 19, 2025. Turned golden with the bloom of the ornamental flower ''Tagetes Erecta Linn,'' commonly called marigold, which has 50 species within the Tagetes, these particular slopes host about 5 species that are in high demand during the festival of light or flowers. The country produces about 2.5 million garlands during the festive season. In the past, domestic production accounts for 20 percent of the country's requirement, and the rest is imported, mainly from India. But in recent years, locally grown flowers make up around 90 percent of sales. 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 NRs 6.5 billion.
