Weekly Photo Challenge: Red 3

Posted by Kamakshi on

The Hibiscus rosa-sinensis, or shoe-flower as we popularly call it here, is a beautiful  evergreen flower. It is often offered along with prayers in a temple, generally to Lord Ganesha. The name shoe-flower thus is reminiscent of its purpose, to be placed at the feet of God.
