Crochet Sonchafa Flowers (Kanak Champaca or Golden Champaca)

Fig 1
Hello friends,
As I told in my last post, this is the second type of flowers I made. They are know as Sonchafa (Golden Champaca). As I explained in previous post, these flowers are used in religeous ceremony, hence the thumbnail of my Youtube video, is this picture in fig 1.
This Goddess is Saraswati, Goddess of knowledge, music, wisdom, learning etc. For more information, please read,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saraswati
So I am offering these Sonchafa flowers to the Goddess and pray to the Goddess, to give relief
