Constellation Garden

The Constellation Garden aka Nakshatra Vatika features a variety of plants and trees that are associated with different constellations in Hindu astrology. Each plant is believed to hold specific spiritual and astrological significance, enhancing the overall ambience and offering visitors a serene and spiritually enriching experience.

By integrating astrology with botany, the Constellation Garden at Shukteerth not only underscores the intrinsic connection between nature and spirituality but also promotes a holistic approach to environmental conservation. This initiative is a testament to the region’s commitment to fostering a deeper understanding of nature’s role in spiritual practices, encouraging visitors to embrace and protect the natural world.

Swami Keshvanandji Maharaj, the Pithadhishwar of Hanumatdham, says that in Indian culture, trees and Nakshatra have been considered integral to the bliss of human happiness from the emotional state of human life. According to the culture of the rishis, the tree of every nakshatra is also certain. Nakshatra Vatika was inaugurated on April 8, 2001, by then Governor Vishnu Kant Shastri.
