It don't get the point all these flower decoration for just one day and then throw them into a dust bin the next day . Why are people wasting their time and money on such superstitions. All these festivals are just shows the human dependency on superstitions,as they are desperate for something which they can never achieve I.E satisfaction. Talk about hypocrisies in terming astrology as superstition and festival as celebration .

Every culture has a way to celebrate their festival. I do not see anything waste in this nor it is superstition. During marriage couples wear flower garland and throw it in the dustbin next day. When we welcome some guest we decorate and keep the house clean and tidy. It is what all the people of Kerala do. It is such a treat to watch and enjoy. You have every freedom to discount the story as superstition. I firmly believe that it is victory of lower self ( ego - which can be called Maha bali since ego is usually arrogant, forceful and poweful expression). Lord Vamana stands for higher self. The ego can never be killed but it can only be tamed. Hence Lord Vamana does not kill Mahabali.

Just as ppl put rangolis and light lamps on diwali, we use flowers...Nobody says why waste oil? Indian Festivals are a means to get together and celebrate the essence of life, the spirit of humanity and cultivate spiritual and good values. By the way, All flowers die even if not plucked, alright? What a dumbass!
