I think old thread should exist on it. As in Marathi it is called Mandar, loved by Lord Ganesha.

In Southeri India especially Tamil Nadu , the flowers are offered to
Lord Ganesha during the Ganesha festival as well as in the pullaiyar
koils (temple)..

Dear HS ji
I think the first line of my mail was to be considered.
I had written that old thread should exist. Because I remember the discussion on the group of white and purple colour flower Calatropis. Latter a whole series of fruit dehiscence also appeared on the group.
Whether to offer to any god is our perseption. But I was more focused on prior scientific discussion.
Sorry the discussion got washed away from the main thread.
Anyway the photographs of the flowers sent by you are really good.
Thanks and regards

But in Western  and Central ,northern Part of India leaves are offered to lord hanuman and on Saturday people  make garland offered.You see near  Hanuman Temple.
The White variety of 

Calotropis gigantea (L.) is used in  religious matter.

Leaves are  Ayurvedic   property, used in   Arthritis and Elephantiasis

It is a medicinal plant too. The leaves, root, bark and milky latex is
used in traditional medicine. It is used in some ayurveda preparations
for hair related treatment, used in preparing medicine for snake
bite.

Due to its toxicity the latex was used to make poison arrows.

Giby

Dear all members, 
please dont confuse yourself with Local names, i think in Marathi it is called as Rui, whereas in Sanskrit or Hindi its Mandar or Arkapatra

In many states, leaves are offered to Lord Hanumana

Its also a plant of 21 Ganesh-patri of Lord Ganesha, so also offered to Lord Ganesha too

regards,
