"Planting a Bel tree is offering a living prayer to the divine.
Its leaves speak the language of devotion, its fruit heals from within, and its roots bind us to nature’s sacred rhythm.
At Shivanta Foundation, every Bel sapling is a symbol of purity, protection, and the timeless bond between Earth and spirit."
