Farmers in Tanahun have been worried after the marigold in their farm bloomed weeks before the arrival of Tihar festival.
They are worried as the flowers planted for the Tihar festival started blooming before Dashain and began drying almost two weeks before the Tihar festival.
The farmers have said that the flowers have blossomed earlier because of the high temperature even during the time when it should have been cold and excess rains.
Govinda Adhikari of Aroudi in Bhimad Municipality-8, who has been cultivating flowers commercially, said that the flowers that should have bloomed during the Tihar festival bloomed before Dashain this season.
