Jasmine Culture

Indian culture prizes jasmine for use in rituals, religious ceremonies, marriages, and more. Other countries use jasmine as a national symbol: In Pakistan, Jasminum officinale, known as chambeli, is the official national flower; in Indonesia, Jasminum sambac was adopted as the national symbol in 1990 and is the primary flower for weddings, especially on Java. Jasmine is also beloved in the Philippines, which adopted it as the country’s national flower in 1935. Hawaiian culture has dedicated countless songs to the flower, Thailand considers it a symbol of motherhood, and in Syria jasmine is the symbol of Damascus, also known as “City of Jasmine.” Jasmine is even now a common name for girls. In many Indonesian and Asian countries it is beautiful to see the white-reddish flower worn by a woman with black hair, traditionally above the left ear.
