Kangabaram, commonly known as Crossandra, is a popular flower used in traditional garlands and hair adornments in South India. Known for its vibrant orange, yellow, or peach-colored petals, the Kangabaram flower is often crafted into strings, which are worn during festive occasions, weddings, and religious ceremonies. Unlike jasmine, Kangabaram flowers have a longer shelf life, maintaining their fresh appearance for several days, making them ideal for garland making. The flower is symbolic of beauty, and its use in decorative strings enhances the cultural aesthetics of traditional attire and events.
