Sai Flowers wasn’t just made for business purposes, it was made to spread the beautiful and unique Indian culture. The traditional and commonly used flowers Sai Flowers sell remind  everyone of memories on how festivals and poojas are performed in India, as it is such a lovely moment to live. Pradeep Thirumalapura Manjuanth, the founder of Sai Flowers, was born and raised in Bangalore, India. Ever since he was a child, he volunteered at Hindu temples, which gave him the chance to gain knowledge on the different types of traditional flowers. Since he was born in a priest family, his knowledge on flowers grew with him.

He eventually became a priest at Ganesh Temple in Bangalore, India. This was where he was able to use the skills and knowledge learnt on flowers since he was a young boy. Visiting the market every now and then, making garlands, and performing alankarams increased his knowledge and creativity.

​

Pradeep moved to the United States in 2011 and worked as a priest at the Hindu Temple Society of North America in NY. With the help of his past experiences at temples in India, he was able to work as a priest there without any obstacles. His hard work and dedication allowed him to expand his insight on flowers, garlands, poojas, and much more.
