Marigold flowers are mostly used in worship. Along with this, marigold is also used in decorating houses and pavilions in weddings.

In addition to producing conventional crops, farmers in Bihar practise large-scale horticulture. Farmers, in particular, are becoming increasingly interested in the production of roses and marigolds. As a result, farmers' incomes have improved significantly. Farmers here produce crops that are in high demand not just in Bihar but even outside of the state. Many farmers in the state have had their lives dramatically altered as a result of flower growing.

The Bihar government is providing incentives to enhance the area of flower cultivation.

However, the Bihar government wants the number of farmers planting flowers in the state to expand at a quicker rate. Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's government intends to offer large incentives to expand the state's flower growing sector. Actually, the Bihar government claims that flowers are a commercial crop. If the state's farmers produce flowers, their revenue will increase. In such a case, they would be able to have a happy existence.
