New Delhi, March 21 The Delhi government is planning a series of themed forests, also known as "special groves", including those based on zodiac signs, stars, and ancient traditions, to enhance the city's green cover while integrating ecology with cultural traditions, officials said.
The proposed plantations, to be established on approximately two acres of land in select areas of the Central and South Ridge, are part of efforts to create green spaces rooted in traditional concepts.
The planned forests include Ritu Van, Nakshatra Van, Rashi Van, Thirthankar Van, Bel Van, and Panchvati Van, each based on a distinct cultural or ecological theme.
"These forests will enhance plantation efforts in the national capital, add ecological value, and attract more people to forest areas while educating them about different cultural aspects in an engaging manner," an official told
