00:00In agriculture, coconut, banana, banana stem, pepper, vegetables, and even spinach are available.

00:17Flowers are in the garden.

00:19The thinking of a normal Malayali was like this in recent years.

00:23Until recently, the farmer didn't use to have a concept of flower cultivation.

00:28Therefore, flowering was done in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka to complete the flowering of Malayalees' homes and gardens.

00:37From the end of the Chinga month to Thiruvonam and Chathayam,

00:41various types of flowers to fill the flower beds of Malayalees were brought to the fore.

00:48In this way, changes are starting to come gradually.

00:51A group of farmers in Kozhikode are actively responding to the complaints that flowering is not profitable and flowers are not cultivated.

01:05They did flowering in Chathamangalam, Vellanur and Virupinpadam.

01:09They started flowering three months before Virupinpadam.

01:13When flowering started after the Onam period, many people questioned why this was done.

01:19But this farmer's goal was not the Onam period.

01:23Their main focus is the festivals in Kozhikode, where there are many festivals, and each festival in Kizhakkan Malayore Mekhala.

01:30Since the festivals started, there is a great demand for jasmine flowers.

01:35In the farmer's Chandran Idu house, Siddharthan Palakka Mandu, Baiju Mandu Temple,

01:41farmer Sunil Kumar Karikinari and his family members are coming forward to promote it.

01:49This is the time when there are many festivals in Kozhikode.

01:52We started this year to show that farmers can make a profit by cultivating a profitable crop.

02:02This year, we started this crop with the intention of introducing this crop to the people of Kozhikode.

02:10It is a good success.

02:12Because there is a demand for a lot of flowers.

02:14We have started using flowers since the Ayyappa era.

02:17During the Kottayam festival, we brought a good number of flowers from Tamil Nadu and Karnataka.

02:22This time, we are ready to use the flowers to decorate the place.

02:27This is a good success.

02:29It is a crop that can be used in agriculture.

02:33This time, we cultivated yellow jasmine the most.

02:35Hybrid seeds were used for cultivation.

02:38October 1st, the seeds were sold.

02:40The jasmine flower cultivation that started three months ago has now become a part of the harvest.

02:45Today is the spring of jasmine flowers in Chathamangalam, Vellanore, Virupinpadam.

02:50The jasmine flowers covered in mustard yellow color stand out with coolness.

02:56The four farmers of Vellanore and their families together cultivated jasmine flowers in Virupinpadam.

03:03They used to cultivate jasmine flowers on the eve of Onam.

03:07This time, it was the festival season.

03:11The farmers brought the required flowers to the festival sites.

03:17Earlier, jasmine flowers were brought from such institutions for festivals.

03:23However, the jasmine flower cultivation in Vellanore is mainly done in Niravathi temples and shrines.

03:29The flowers are brought to the Virupinpadam of Vellanore by committees.

03:33The farmers of Chathamangalam are creating a new Kashika Vijaya with traditional farming methods and time-consuming cultivation.
