A Family of Maalis, For Generations
From placing flowers at Shri Ram Ji's feet to decorating the most sacred mandap in modern India.
From placing flowers at Shri Ram Ji's feet to decorating the most sacred mandap in modern India.
The Beginning
It began with Shri Bal Krishna Saini — a maali from Mumbai who felt called to Ayodhya. He came to the city of Shri Ram Ji not as a businessman, but as a sevak.
His life's work was simple: grow flowers, string garlands, and place them at the deity's feet. Every morning. Every evening. For decades.
The Next Chapter
His children, Kanhaiya and Poornima Saini, grew up among flowers. They learned the craft not from textbooks but from watching their father's hands — which flowers to pick at dawn, which garlands to string tight, which to leave loose.
When the call came to decorate the mandap for Shri Ram Lalla Ji's Pran Pratishtha on January 22nd, 2024, they were ready. Hundreds of varieties. Thousands of garlands. Millions watching. One family's seva.
Today
Today, Kanhaiya Maali and Poornima Saini carry their father's devotion forward at a scale Shri Bal Krishna Saini never imagined.
Weddings that disappear under roses. Temples that bloom with ten thousand marigolds. Pooja kits that carry Ayodhya's blessings to Houston, London, and Dubai.
The flowers are bigger now. The seva is the same.
Whether it is a garland, a grand decoration, or a prayer — we are here.
