Question
What is the concept of ‘Devrai’?
✓
Answer
Devrai means sacred groves / patch of forest.
In Maharashtra small patches of forest in the Ghats are protected by local people.
It is based on the understanding that all creations of nature have to be protected. Such beliefs have preserved several virgin forests in pristine form.
These patches of forests or parts of large forests have been left untouched by the local people and any interference with them is banned.
