Ganeshotsav: Flower Prices Soar Due to Heavy Rainfall.

The upcoming Ganeshotsav festival is expected to witness a surge in flower prices due to the recent heavy rainfall in Mumbai and its surrounding areas. The excessive rain has damaged the flower crops, leading to a shortage in supply.

As a result, the prices of flowers such as jasmine, mogra, and roses have increased significantly. The demand for flowers is expected to rise during the Ganeshotsav festival, which will further exacerbate the shortage. Flower vendors are likely to sell jasmine flowers at a price ranging from ₹160 to ₹200 per kilogram.

The heavy rainfall has affected the flower farms, resulting in a decrease in the production of flowers. This has led to an increase in prices, making it difficult for devotees to purchase flowers for the festival. The situation is expected to worsen as the festival approaches, with prices likely to remain high.
