"Planting a Pipal is planting sacred breath into the Earth.
It is a tree that doesn’t just grow—it awakens.
Its shade has cradled sages, its roots hold stories, and its leaves dance with peace.
At Shivanta Foundation, every Pipal sapling is our prayer for a world rooted in wisdom, wellness, and eternity."
