Saw jasmine garlands near town. Fine to wear one in hair for evening, or is that muddled with temple flower offerings. Mid-afternoon buy okay. Not a mid-morning temple offerings shopping frame.

A jasmine garland worn loosely in hair is a common festive touch and is different from buying offerings to present inside temple — keep that distinction clear if you also plan a short temple stop.
