The largest ever floral carpet in Qatar was crafted yesterday by Keralite organisation Engineers Forum (EF) in association with LuLu Hypermarkets at an Onam celebration. The ‘EF LuLu Floral Carpet’, which measured 7.5m across, was made with 130kg of fresh flowers flown in specially by LuLu. EF, the apex body of alumni from 12 engineering colleges, had eight volunteers from each in the floral carpet team. It took a total of seven hours for the 96-member team to complete the creation. As many as 1,200 people took part in the celebration. Film actor Innocent was the chief guest. PICTURE: Jayan Orma.
