CELEBRATING THE JOY WITH LIGHTS
Vanamahotsava is a great festival of forests and tree planting. It can be literally translated as great festival of forests. The great festival of forests implies forest conservation, and even in 1950s, forest conservation meant planting lots and lots of trees. So now, it is known as festival of trees. It is similar to the Arbor Day of US and Australia, Greening Week of Japan, Tree Loving Week of Trees of Israel and so on.
They are celebrated in many parts of the world, may be on different days due to climatic differences. In India Vanamahotsava is a weeklong festival being celebrated all over the country in the First week of July every year with message to plant more trees to create forests? It is a festival which each one of us can take part or celebrate. We can be a part of a larger celebration or can initiate a celebration anywhere. It does not require elaborate arrangement to observe this day.
Tree seedlings are distributed free of cost for this auspicious occasion. What is this great festival of trees, one may wonder. Jawaharlal Nehru said, "is a special occasion of which we should take advantage by planting large number of trees". The importance of trees has been understood by many, and hence celebrations are observed in many countries under different names.
