The Punya Peepal Initiative
A simple promise: every adopted Peepal is planted by our own team and cared for, year after year.
Revered for generations
The Peepal (Ficus religiosa), known as Ashwattha, holds a special place in Indian tradition. In the Bhagavad Gita, Shri Krishna says that among all trees he is the Ashwattha. Across India, devotees offer water to the Peepal and walk around it in prayer.
It is also a generous tree for nature: it lives for a very long time, gives wide shade, shelters birds and insects, and its roots help hold the soil.

We are the team behind TrimbakeshwarBooking.in, which helps pilgrims with pujas, stays and travel in Trimbakeshwar and Nashik. Punya Peepal-Ayu Prasadam grew from a simple wish: that every pilgrimage should leave behind something living.
Our own team members plant the saplings, water them and photograph them — the same people you see in our photos.

Planted by our team
Every sapling is planted by the Trimbakeshwar NEST team, on land used with the permission of its owner.
Care for 3–5 years
Regular watering and looking after the young tree for at least 3 years, aiming for up to 5.
Honest updates
Photo updates about every 7–15 days, each checked against the tree's planting spot.
Locations kept private
We do not publish exact plantation locations — this protects the trees and respects the landowners.
No ownership claims
The tree belongs to nature: neither the adopter nor our team owns the tree or the land.
Clear, simple terms
Everything about adoption, credits and privacy is written plainly in our policies.
