Ayudha Pooja and Dasara Festival: Shopping remains high despite price hikes; fruit and flower price list here

Amidst Ayudha Pooja and Vijayadashami festival, shopping is lively in Bengaluru markets. Prices for flowers, fruits, boodukumbala, lime, and cardamom bananas have risen due to rain-damaged crops. While the price of sabudana has fallen due to increased supply from outside states, expensive rates for most puja items, including sevanti and mallige, are impacting consumers.
