A garland of white flowers

This is for the May flower challenge Day 12. These garlands of white flowers are used to adorn pictures and figurines of deities. They are also sported in the hair by Indian women, especially in South India.

  3. It belongs to the Jasmine family Anisha. Going by this site (www.flowersofindia.net) about flowers of India I think it is Rose Bud Jasmine. This flower is discussed here http://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/slides/Rose%20Bud%20Jasmine.html
