Step into the lush, spiritual and nature loving world of Jainism, where trees are not mere plants but symbols of enlightenment, compassion, and divinity.

With stunning images of trees, their fruits, and flowers, accompanied by their scientific names, this book is both a feast for the eyes and a treasury of knowledge. Delve into the spiritual essence of the 10 Kalpavrikshas (wish-fulfilling trees), which are central to Jain cosmology, and discover the Diksha Trees associated with the 24 Tirthankaras, marking milestones of renunciation and spiritual awakening. The book also explores the Kulvrikshas of the 14 Kulkaras, revered as the guardians of ancient clans, along with numerous other trees mentioned across Jain scriptures.

This book is a part of a series Nilima Sharma is writing on trees and plants, "The Sacred Groves of India". The series is born out of her researches on the sacred groves of India, in which she essentially talk about trees, and shows how trees and plants of our everyday experience can be sacred.

This book is perfect for scholars, spiritual seekers, and nature lovers alike, offering a unique perspective on the intersection of religion and ecology. Let it inspire you to cherish and protect the living treasures of our planet, guided by the timeless teachings of Jainism.
