The Saypatri flower is mostly used for garlands to worship gods and animals during the Tihar festival. Starting on 31 October 2024, the five-day festival is the second major event for Nepalese Hindus. During the celebrations, people worship crows, considered to be messengers of human beings, and dogs, repaying the love towards man's best friend, and cows, considered as incarnations of Lord Laxmi, God of Wealth.
