Flower carpet
Flower carpet (Malayalam: പൂക്കളം or Pookkalam) is a carpet made of flowers arranged in patterns. Flower carpet events happen in many places around the world.[1] One of the most popular flower carpet events is the Flower Carpet biennial in Brussels.[2] Flower carpets are made on the occasion of Onam festival in Kerala, India to welcome the legendary king, Mahabali. The Guinness World Record for the largest flower carpet of the world is for Jardines of Mexico, where an 18,000 m2 flower carpet was made on 8 December 2018.[3]
