Vruksha Prasad – Shreemant Dagdusheth Halwai Ganpati Mandir Trust Pune
Vruksha Prasad — Shreemant Dagdusheth Halwai Ganpati Mandir Trust, Pune
In the heart of Pune, where Shreemant Dagdusheth Halwai Ganpati has been worshipped by generations of devotees, Sahyadri Devrai's Vruksha Prasad finds one of its most meaningful homes. Every tree planted under this initiative is offered in the name of Bappa himself — not as a flower or a sweet, but as a living, growing prasad that will give back to the earth for decades to come.
The Dagdusheth Ganpati Mandir is more than a temple — it is one of Maharashtra's most loved spiritual landmarks, drawing millions of devotees every year. Through this initiative, Sahyadri Devrai invites those devotees to express their faith in a way that matches Bappa's own spirit — generous, grounded, and deeply rooted in nature. To plant a tree in Bappa's name is to ask for a blessing and to give one back in the same breath.
01 — A Tree in the Name of Bappa
Every Vruksha Prasad sapling planted under this initiative is dedicated in the name of Shreemant Dagdusheth Halwai Ganpati. The tree becomes a living act of devotion — taking root in the soil and growing in Bappa's grace for generations to come.
02 — Sacred Indigenous Species
Trees traditionally connected to Ganpati and Indian devotion — banyan, peepal, audumbar, bilva, and others — are planted under this initiative. These are sacred species that have stood beside Indian temples and shrines for thousands of years.
03 — Devotion as Living Offering
While flowers wither and sweets are consumed, a tree planted in Bappa's name lives on. The initiative invites devotees to choose an offering that breathes, shelters, and gives back to the earth long after the moment of worship.
04 — A Grove of Blessings
The trees planted under this collaboration grow at Sahyadri Devrai sites and are cared for as part of the larger Devrai movement. Every sapling becomes part of a sacred grove — a forest of faith carrying the blessings of countless devotees.
