Parijatham flower is considered one of the holiest flowers. A very fragrant flower blooming in the night.
There is a flower which is only white in colour. There is another flower which is white in colour with orange tubes. Some call it pavala malli and others call it parijatham.
The pure white flower, I purchase in Koyamedu flower market. The vendors sell it by the kilogram.
So, I purchase one kg of the flower, it costs Rupees one hundred or so depending upon the season, before festivals it is more expensive.
I am able to offer lots of these flowers for festivals like Varamahalakshmi Pooja.
A student of Botany and Zoology, I was in college and am fascinated by this flower. It is night blooming because there is less competition for pollination at night, it seems. Nature, you cannot beat it!
The white and orange flowers simply drop from the tree. It is one of the few flowers that can be picked from the ground and offered to Pooja, according to customs and traditions in some families.

Rangoli tips - draw the lines with confidence without stopping, lines without joints improve the attractiveness of the rangoli I have shared only the white kolam , we can add colours in the geometric shapes and shade in few places for festival decoration without obfuscating the white rangoli

I reiterate, to get an attractive rangoli, we should ensure that the curved lines drawn connecting the dots should be smooth and without joints i.e. they should be drawn in a single stretch. The secrets for achieving these are concentration and practice.
