Is thulukka samanthi used for GOD in Tamil Nadu? If not, why? Why name Thulukka got added to this variety of Samanthi, even though genetically all are same?
i don't know about the name. But this is very widely used for poojas at home and at temples in western and northern states of India. flower is after all a flower and they are also god's creation.
see in tn all verities of flowers available in almost all season.so less usage of samanthi.but here in north india i have no other option other than samanthi.so i use it for pooja. so it doesn't matter what we offer buthow we offer it matters a lot.
