"To plant a Pakad is to plant power wrapped in peace.
A tree that has witnessed generations, sheltered sages, and purified the very air we breathe.
The Pakad is not just a shade-giver—it’s a silent sentinel of dharma, tradition, and ecological harmony.
At Shivanta Foundation, each Pakad sapling planted is an oath to protect our roots, our culture, and our future."
