The marigold is native to Central America. The Aztecs used it as a flavoring ingredient for cacao. It is important in both Aztec and Indian cultures. In Mexico the flower is used in the Dia de Muertos festivals and ceremonies. The deeply scented and brightly colored flower is believed to guide the spirits toward the elaborate altars decorated with sweets, mementos and remembrances of the dead. Marigold garlands are used for weddings and other auspicious events in India.
