Khirai is a small Village Near Panskura in the East Medinipur district of West Bengal. As alluring as the name Khirai Valley of Flowers is, the surrounding beauty is more than you might imagine.

Combination of orange, yellow and green, and so on.  This place is even more romantic for couples because here you will feel like Amitabh Ji and Rekha Ji, And you will start humming the song of Kishore Da in your mind.

“देखा एक ख़्वाब तो ये सिलसिले हुए दूर तक निगाहों में हैं गुल खिले हुए ये ग़िला है आप की निगाहों में फूल भी हों दर्मियां तो फ़ासले हुए देखा एक …”

Different kinds of flowers paint the Valley of Flowers like Marigold, Pot marigold, Common marigold, Gladiolus, Chrysanthemum, Cockscomb, etc are the important flowers that are cultivated in this region in the first week of January. The fertile alluvial soil of both the Khirai and Kangsabati rivers in Panskura block helps in developing the cultivation of this flower.

Though floriculture is done throughout the year, the winter season is very important as this time is very suitable for the blooming of different types of flowers, and as a result, people are attracted to visit these places.

Floriculture is the most important economic activity in this region for the livelihood of the people.
According to the farmers, these flowers are exported not only in West Bengal but also to all the major cities of India like Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Kanpur, Bangalore, etc.

But most of the flowers are exported daily to the Kolkata megacity by railway transport. There is a number of flowers market surrounding this area as the farmers sell their flowers every day early morning.
