It was a refreshing sight of yellow; though it wasn't a large landscape of yellow, I never got to see a marigold field of this much. And it was a great divertissement from the regular and boring sights of the highways and there's also a patch of mixed colors of an orange and yellow and yet un-bloomed bed of dark orange or red marigold.
It seems it was the dam water that made flourish the marigold. Though the marigold bloomed on both sides of the road, the view towards the backwater (2nd pic above) is scenic, and the blue sky and the sunny day made it glowing. Aside from that, a kind of white wildflowers bloomed in the barren lands, but still, I doubt whether they are wildflowers or a kind of cultivated flowers.

The field of flowers stretched only for a few km on the east bank of the reservoir, and it seems only the land around the dam is fertile, unlike its dry northern part where we drove along before drawing away to Puducherry. This reminds me of the rose fields I saw around Nagalapuram, at the border of Andhra and Tamil Nadu, had Pichatur Dam as its source.

...I've never seen fields of marigolds before, but I've heard of this.
Your photos look beautiful. For some reason, I don't notice flower fields when I travel on highways!

Beautiful photos, Jeevan. The flowers look very pretty.
Have a great weekend!
Hello Jeevan,:=) What a beautiful sight of yellow Marigolds. You couldn't possibly miss the golden fields, and the red ones about to bloom must be just as lovely. Thank you for sharing these very pleasing views.
That is new to me...a field of marigolds. I used to always plant marigolds...every summer. Not sure when or why I stopped.
The marigold field is a pretty sight to enjoy.
I am trying to remember what the marigold flowers are used for but I know that there is a product that they make with them. Maybe also they are sold to use for all of the festival celebrations.
Beautiful spring blooms, It would be my pleasure if you join my link up party related to Gardening, Nature an Birds here at http://jaipurgardening.blogspot.com/2021/03/growing-inverted-tomato-plant-in-bottle.html
