List Of Indian State Flowers:  India is known for its abundant biodiversity and natural beauty. Each state has its different customs, culture, and natural symbols. Among these symbols, state flowers are especially important as they represent the pride and natural heritage of each region. These flowers were carefully chosen to represent the identity, climate, and cultural significance of the state. From simple yet beautiful native plants to vibrant and exotic blooms, these flowers showcase the diversity of India's flora.

Each state's flowers have cultural and ecological significance. Many of them are essential to the environment because they provide food for pollinators like butterflies and bees. States that recognise these flowers not only honour their uniqueness but also spread awareness of the need to protect local plant species and the environment.
