From Field To Festival: Farmers Craft Gomphrena Globosa Garlands As Tihar Lights Up Nepal Gomphrena globosa, commonly known as Makhmali, blooms in a field on the outskirts of Bhaktapur, Nepal, on October 26, 2026. Demand for the flowers increases during Tihar, also known as Diwali or Deepawali, the festival of flowers. The flowers are ready for plucking from July or August, and garlands are made immediately thereafter. Because Gomphrena globosa does not wither quickly, farmers harvest it first and store it in well-ventilated places, hanging it on various structures to be sold as per demand. Bhaktapur Bagmati Nepal
