Within the Boteh motif, frames a ball made from a marigold flower, symbolizes growth and development, and used in almost all rituals, festivals and celebrations in India. The color and design of the petals of the marigold are drawn from Bandhani textiles, an Indian tie-dye technique dates back to Indus Valley civilization.
