History:
Nakshatra Van was developed by the Jharkhand Forest Department as part of an initiative to promote eco-tourism and create awareness about the importance of trees in Indian culture and astrology. The concept was conceived to provide a unique attraction that combines environmental conservation with traditional knowledge. The garden was carefully planned and designed to align with the principles of Vedic astrology, ensuring that each Nakshatra tree was planted in its designated area. Over the years, Nakshatra Van has become a popular tourist destination, attracting visitors interested in astrology, botany, and nature. It continues to serve as an educational and recreational space, promoting the understanding and appreciation of India's rich cultural heritage.
