On a subtle level the color and fragrance particles present in the flower have a capacity to attract the principles of a specific deity which benefits the worshipper. Hibiscus is offered to Lord Ganesha and Maa Durga because they signify strength and power of the subconscious. The subtle principle of deities attracted to a flower from space is called frequencies while the same deity principle when emitted into the atmosphere is called as pavitrak. The frequencies are a subtle and comparatively more unmanifest (nirgun) form of deity principle while a pavitrak is the subtle and manifest form of the same deity principle. The stamen of the flower absorbs the Ganesh principle present in the atmosphere and emits the particles which donate vital energy or pranshakti. The Hibiscus flower is of raja-sattva nature. As a result divine energy (shakti) and divine consciousness (chaitanya) are emitted from its petals.
