Sunflower is a major source of vegetable oil in the world. India is one of the largest producers of oil seed in the world. Due to a great climate, India has large sunflower fields. The states of Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra account for the largest sunflower fields in India. A sunflower symbolizes humans' pursuit of the light, and inspires people to reject violence and darkness, which makes it a very popular flower. Although many countries and cities have beautiful sunflower fields, in India, they are unique because of their abundance.
