Temple flowers are often used in Hindu religious ceremonies and offerings, and the waste generated from these offerings can become a significant environmental issue if not properly managed. The waste generated from temple flowers can include flowers, leaves, stems, and garlands, which can be difficult to dispose of due to their large quantities and perishable nature.
If left uncollected and unmanaged, temple flower waste can cause a number of environmental problems, including clogging of drains and water bodies, attracting pests and rodents, producing foul odors, and releasing methane and other greenhouse gases as the organic matter decomposes.
