This Diwali, fill your homes with the fragrance of nature and the joy of giving back! The CSIR Floriculture Mission invites you to celebrate the festival of lights in a truly eco-friendly and sustainable way at the Diwali Flower Market, hosted at the Botanic Garden, CSIR-NBRI, Lucknow.

This year, instead of turning to plastic decorations and artificial garlands, welcome positivity and prosperity into your homes with fresh festive flowers like marigolds, roses, tuberoses, chrysanthemums, and many more varieties, all sourced directly from local farmers.

The market is not just a place to shop but a celebration of India’s floral diversity and sustainable farming practices. Every flower you buy carries the hard work, care, and dedication of farmers supported by the CSIR Floriculture Mission, a nationwide initiative that empowers cultivators through modern floriculture techniques, scientific guidance, and fair trade opportunities.

By buying flowers directly from farmers, you:

- Support local livelihoods and help rural communities earn fair returns.

- Promote eco-friendly celebrations, reducing the use of synthetic décor.

- Encourage sustainable floriculture, reducing environmental impact.

Light your diyas, decorate your temples, and welcome Goddess Lakshmi with blooms grown in India’s own soil. Together, let’s support our farmers, protect the planet, and celebrate Diwali in harmony with nature.

When: 19th October.

Where: Botanic Garden, CSIR-NBRI, Lucknow.

Time: 7:00 am - 9:00 am.
