In India, and particularly in Hindu ceremonies Marigold is used for ausipicious occasions like Pujas and weddings where the flower is offered to the Goddess. Its radiant hues of bright yellow and orange are considered symbolic of the sun's energy and vitality and thus also dispel negativity.

Local types (orange & yellow), Pusa Narangi Gainda, Pusa Basanthi Gainda (IARI varieties) and MDU 1 can be cultivated. Well drained loamy soil is found suitable. The soil pH should be 7.0 to 7.5. Saline and acidic soils are not suitable for cultivation.

How to care for marigolds. Keep the soil moist, especially during prolonged dry periods, giving plants a thorough water once a week. Plants in containers will probably need watering every day or every other day during summer. To ensure reliable, long flowering they will need plenty of food.
