Historical Significance of Devadaru 

The name "Devadaru" translates to "divine tree" in Sanskrit, a testament to its sacred status in Hinduism and Ayurveda. It is sacred to the deity Lord Shiva, and many temples dedicated to him in the Himalayas boast magnificent, well-preserved devadaru groves and trees. The "Agathiyar Vaidya Kaviyam," a medical text blessed by Agathiyar, mentions "Vaaritta Kacholan Devadaram," highlighting the tree's medicinal properties and its fragrance, similar that of sandalwood. It was cherished by ancient Indian sages devoted to the Hindu god Shiva. It is referred to as Bhadra in the Atharva Veda and as Daru in the Kalpasutra. Mentions of the tree can also be found in texts such as the Shaunik Atharveda Samhita, Paraskar Grihyasutra, Kaushik Sutra, and Patanjali Mahabhashya. In Indian epics like the Ramayana and Mahabharata, hymns extol its virtues. In Britain, Ireland, and France, similar reverence was shown in oak tree groves by groups known as druids (Deru/vid). In Europe, its historical use includes temple construction and landscaping around religious structures, noted since the Iron Age (600 BC – 43 AD). When devadaru used in rituals, it is said to invoke the blessings of the gods, cleanse the surroundings of negative energy, and promote spiritual growth. Devadaru malais are commonly used in meditation practices to enhance spiritual experiences and create a serene atmosphere.
