Paryavaran Sanrakshan Manipur in association with Seva Bharati, Manipur organised Prakiti Vandana by worshiping the sacred Pureiromba Khongnang at Palace Gate on Sunday with around 40 volunteers offering flowers and fruits to revered Peepal Tree.
North-East Region secretary Khwairakpam Rajen Singh led the 'vandana' along with State secretary Shijagurumayum Tarunkumar Sharma.
In a release, Paryavaran Sanrakshan informed that after lighting candles and burning incense sticks, thread and red coloured cloth were tied around the tree.
The significance of tying a thread around a tree is symbolic as it shows that we are there to protect the tree, it said, while adding that the symbolic thread signifies bonding and also protection for the trees from cutting and felling similar to Raksha Bandhan signifying protection of our sisters who tied rakhis to us.
