| |
| | beneath a tree has its own microclimate
|
| from human habitations for providing a
| |
| | that supports particular flora and
|
| calm, peaceful and pleasant environment
| |
| | fauna.Let only the footpath be tiled
|
| and also for ensuring a close bond
| |
| | while keeping the floor untiled to the
|
| between man and nature.Hindu temples are
| |
| | maximum extent possible.Small patches of
|
| generally associated with trees such as
| |
| | herbs like Ocimum, Vinca, Jasmine can be
|
| Ficus benghalensis, Ficus Religiosa,

| |
| | needs for praying to the god.Another
|
| Temple tree, Bauhinia spp, etc, Herbs
| |
| | beautiful attraction to the temple garden

| | can be artificially created pool for
|
| gigantic trees like ficus spp and some
| |
| | growing nelumbium spp which is considered
|
| other trees are closely associated with
| |
| | the flower associated with gods.Lawn
|
| temples since time immemorial.The mixed

| | grass be selected such that the grass
|
| fragrance, the flowers and the leaf
| |
| | species be tolerant to tree shade,and
|
| litter on the ground gives a pleasent
| |
| | avoid designing open lawns with few
|
| experience to a pilgrim or tourist.But
| |
| | plants..try to intersperse the lawn with
|
| contemperoray gardeners and landscapists
| |
| | trees randomly planted in between.The
|
| fail to appreciate this aspect while
| |
| | asymmetric style and a large
|
| attempting gardening at these places,
| |
| | representation of trees is ecologically
|
| which have become tourist and mass
| |
| | significant as these support and house
|
| pilgrimage centers in modern times.Most
| |
| | numerous birds and other organisms.Birds
|
| contemporary gardeners design symmetric
| |
| | like parrots, cuckoos, woodpecker and
|
| gardening with huge lawns and tiled floor
| |
| | occassional monkeys, squirrels all add to
|
| sorrounding the tree bases.The
| |
| | a natural feeling and oneness with
|
| representation of trees is very poor in
| |
| | nature.Ravikumar Uppaluri hails from
|
| comparision to the lawns and
| |
| | Kaikalur (Kaikaluru), Krishna District of
|
| plants.Assymmetry should be the rule
| |
| | Andhra Pradesh State in India.The famous
|
| while designing landscaping near these
| |
| | Kolleru bird sancturay, a fresh water
|
| temples.The asymmetric garden should have
| |
| | lake that attracts birds from as far as
|
| abundant representation of Tree species

| |
| | spent the childhhod close to such nature
|
| apple,Alexandrian laurel, Jack Fruit,
| |
| | rich areas, a deep interest and love for
|
| Mango atc spread in a random manner.The
| |
| | nature were inculcated right from child
|
| most depressing aspect of modern temples
| |
| | hood.Having done masters in agricultural
|
| - they do not have space for gardening at
| |
| | science, This emotional bonding took a
|
| all, leaving such, whereever there is
| |
| | scientific and logical enquiry making
|
| enough space for gardening, care should
| |
| | scientifically and emotionally in sync
|
| be taken not to tile or concrete the
| |
| | with the cause of nature.Visit for
|
| entire floor touching the tree bases!
| |
| | knowing about kolleru lake ..
|
| scientifically too the tree base should
