City's first arboretum or Nakshatra Garden to come up in GU campus; it will spread awareness about significance of plants in relation to Nakshatras (constellations), Rashis (moon signs) and Navgraha (nine celestial bodies)

Did you know that strengthening Venus (graha) in your birth chart could be as simple as sitting under a neem tree? Or that those with the Mesh rashi (names starting with letters A, L or E/I in Gujarati) may find relief from digestive issues, fluid retention, and coughs by connecting with the Rakta Chandan tree? And for those born under the Rohini nakshatra, the jamun tree, rich in iron and ascorbic acid, could offer support for heart and liver health, simply by being in its presence.

For believers in astrology, these connections between celestial bodies and botanical remedies may not be surprising. But for those unfamiliar with this concept, Gujarat University's newest project, the Arboretum, is set to be a fascinating revelation.
