~ Its Inspiration and Symbolism ~
During Diwali/Kali puja we honor the goddess Kali by offering Rakta Chandan (Red Sandalwood) and Laal Jaba Phool (Red Hibiscus Flower). Goddess Kali is often referred to as divine mother or Maa Kali, a destroyer of evil. She is the 'Shakti' the embodiment of strength.
The Goddess Kali epitomizes fierceness and the flower that depicts this beautifully is a ‘Red Hibiscus’. The shape of the flower symbolizes the goddess’s tongue and the vibrant red color depicts Kali Maa’s fierceness.
In West Bengal, ''goddess is adorned with 108 Jaba flowers garland around her neck during Kali puja in Diwali’'.
Hibiscus flowers are the symbol of the cosmic womb of Mahakali.

The “Laal Jaba” Saree symbolizes the ‘Shakti’ within each one of us!
