Gajra

A garland of fresh flowers, usually jasmine, worn in the hair across South Asia.

Also: veni, malli poo, flower garland

A gajra is a string of fresh flowers worn around a bun or along a plait. Jasmine is the most common flower, for its scent, alongside roses, crossandra and tuberose. Women in South India, Maharashtra and Gujarat wear gajras with saris every day, at festivals and at weddings, where brides may wear many strands. In Tamil Nadu, jasmine from Madurai is prized. Gajras are sold at temple gates and street corners, made fresh each morning.
