Prime Minister Narendra Modi's stage will be decorated with special flowers of Solan this time at Red Fort in Delhi on Independence Day. These flowers will be sent to Delhi from Mahog village adjacent to Chail in Solan district, famous for flower cultivation.

Local floral producer Om Prakash has received a special order of four boxes of golden sunflower for August 15 this time. There is still time to prepare these flowers. In this case, 100 golden sunflower flowers will be sent to Delhi. Tomorrow these flowers will be harvested. Om Prakash, a silver medalist in Floriculture, said that after a long time, demand has also come from Crescentium, Chrysanthemum, Eustoma, and Eustophila.

But the loss in lockdown has affected production badly. He informed that for the first time one thousand seeds of Holland's golden sunflower have been prepared in Mahog. Despite high demand, he is able to send only 100 flowers. He told that the golden sunflower flowers produced in Mahog will be used in the decoration of PM's stage on 15 August in Delhi. This special sunflower flower of Om Prakash is sold in the wholesale market for up to Rs 20 per flower.
