Poor people shower "Madonna" with flower petals

Interesting. I ignored reading about this until I noticed just now the part about the poor people showering her with rose and marigold petals.

Madonna, Ritchie Visit Slums of Mumbai
Jan 8, 2008
MUMBAI, India (AP) — Madonna visited a crowded Mumbai slum Tuesday, where impoverished residents showered her with rose and marigold petals.
Madonna didn't speak to journalists, and a New York-based spokeswoman for the 49-year-old singer wasn't immediately available for comment.
Millions of people live in makeshift huts in slums along railway lines and roads in Mumbai, India's financial and entertainment center.
