New Day Cafe: Flower Carpets

Welcome to the New Day Cafe! This is an open thread.

2020’s Onam, the ten-day Hindu festival in honor of the Malayalam New Year, has begun.

Pookkalam, or flower carpets, are another festival tradition. The artistic displays start small and grow larger as more flowers are added each day of the celebration. https://t.co/nJyGaY7elu
