Origanum majorana. In Kannada this is known as 'maruga'. Almost every house hold has this plant and I have one in my house .The cut foliage is sold in market and used in floral garlands offered to God (Shiva). The foliage has special importance during annual chariot festival (Rathothsava), during which time the maruga along with banana is thrown (showered) by the viewers on the Idol of Shiva during the procession.
