Nanikumari Thapa of Sahidalkhan-2 Mankamana is now invited to pick the blooming roses. Nanikumari enters the garden in a whisper and picks flowers and sends them to the market of Mankamana. Her daily routine is to send her husband Ekraj Thapa to Mankamana Bazaar to sell flowers and she is engaged in Godmail.

says, 'It's been 40 years, selling flowers at Manakamana has covered all the household expenses.' 63-year-old Nani Kumari has started selling flowers to the devotees who come to Manakamana temple since she was 23 years old.

Among the merchants of Mankamana market area, she has made the name of 'sister who sells flowers'. "Many people know when it comes to selling flowers, there is not a day that we don't get the flowers we wish for," she said. When she is not in her garden and when the demand is high, she goes to the forest and neighboring villages to collect flowers .

Four years ago, Nani Kumari was severely injured after falling while picking flowers in Yangtin, two hours away from the village. "While picking flowers on the wall of the road, I had to put 29 taka on my head," she said She told about rice.

Nani Kumari has also grown flowers in four hall gardens . She said that she even reached Gulmi to deliver flowers to Manakamana. She said that she planted the seeds and plants that she brought while looking for flowers all over the garden. There are more than 50 thari flowers including Lalupet, Bahrmase, Sayapatri, Lakshmi in his garden . "Corn and millet are planted in Barkha, dill is blooming in Barika, all other flowers are in the garden," she said.

Thapa said that flowers are sold more on special pujas and Fridays in Manakamana. She takes the collected flowers to the lower gate of the cable car and sells them. "Friday is sold for 24/25 hundred, it is difficult to deliver it," she said, "A bag of flowers goes for 100 in the upper market, if you bring it down, you get a higher price." She said that the annual income is at least two lakhs. He has experience that flowers are sold very less in June and July.

There are also some orange trees in the garden . But Nani Kumari says that selling flowers is more profitable than selling oranges. "There were 110 orange plants in the garden and the other wing, but now they are all old and dead," she said, "Oranges last only one season, and they were sold every day after flowering." She has been a professional for the past four years and has planted 100 trees in two tunnels every year. There are more than 5 farmers who deliver Mankamana flowers only in Thapa's village.

Ram Bahadur Shrestha of Sahidalkhan-3 Silingtar sells the flowers produced in four tunnels by bringing them to the lower station of the cable car. "I have cultivated flowers with the aim of wishing for them. It has been four years and I have not had to say that there will be no sales," he said. He has the experience that when growing flowers in the tunnel, they are produced even in the off-season and are not affected by frost.
