Forests full of Deodar or Devadāru trees were the favorite living place of ancient Indian sages and their families who were devoted to the HINDU god SHIVA. To please Lord Shiva, the sages used to perform very difficult tapasya (meditation) practices in deodar forests. Also the ancient Hindu epics and SHAVAITE texts regularly mention Darukavana, meaning a forest of deodars, as a sacred place.
