Marigold farming has been initiated on leased land in Tulsipur, with the specific aim of supplying flowers for the festival season. Organisation president Chitra Dhital stated that all committee members and employees are currently occupied with the care and maintenance of the marigold plants. The cultivation specifically involves the Karma variety of marigold. The planting took place on 26 July with the intention of harvesting during Tihar. However, the flowers bloomed after forty-five days, leading Dhital to express worry that the premature flowering might prevent the organisation from achieving its expected revenue during the celebrations. Despite the early bloom, efforts are underway to manage the crop effectively. Regular irrigation can stimulate marigold plants to bloom up to three times, and the team is currently applying this watering strategy to secure subsequent yields.
