An Ode to گجرا (Gajra)

The scent of jasmine carries generations of memories across South Asia. In Pakistan and throughout the region, these flowers have been woven into strings that are used to decorate, accessorize, and much more. Gifting a pair of gajra to someone is known as a sweet gesture of love. The scent is present in weddings, festivals, and everyday moments. From picking these flowers from Nani's garden back home, or growing this plant abroad, the flower and its fragrance continues to carry tradition, and home.
