Abstract
Pilgrims consider as flowers as holy entities and hence are offered to their idols. Every day these offered flowers by the devotees in religious sites are left unused and therefore become waste. Based on the current status, present study was conducted at Dr YSRHU - Citrus Research station, Dry flower technology Value addition centre at Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh to utilize the worshipped flowers (Nirmalya) for value addition by making different floral images during the year 2021-2022. By standardizing the right backdrop to prepare floral images by affixing the dried petal without deteriorating the quality of the floral images, the current research was planned by choosing different backdrops to conduct research. Accordingly, different backdrops have utilized in current experiment i.e., Ivory sheet (M1), Canvas sheet (M2), Corrugated paper (M3), Jute mat (M4), Photo paper (M5) and Handmade paper (M6). Chrysanthemum morifolium (F) dried petals were used for pasting on different backdrop materials. The sensory evaluation results revealed that chrysanthemum dried petals colour retention, shape retention, visual appearance of the floral image, and overall acceptance of the floral image by the consumer found better on Photopaper (M5) followed by Corrugated paper (M3) and poor on Jute mat (M4) as compared to the other backdrops.
