The 'Shiuli' flowers (Night jasmine flower) mark the arrival of Autumn and Goddess Durga, the most revered goddess in Bengal.
These autumn flowers have a mild fragrance and are white in colour with an orange stalk, which blooms in the months of September and October.
The flowers would bloom in the wee hours of the dawn, spread their heady fragrance and intoxicates all around.
The flowers fall from the trees as the dew drops in the early morning and flower lovers pick them up and generally place them in flat bowls to keep their rooms nicely fragranced.
