Abstract
Sacred Groves are the one form of nature worship, which is considered as “Sacred Natural Sites”. Significant tradition of nature worship provides protection to patches of forests dedicated to deities and ancestral spirits by the tribal and forest dwellers. The survey work was carried out from 2013-2016 in Jabalpur forest division, to assess the role of Phyto diversity in existing sacred groves situated in the forest area. Historical background, ethnic belief and the socio-cultural importance about sacred groves were collected from each sacred grove. Total 105 sacred groves had been identified from the seven forest ranges of Jabalpur forest division. The 129 plant species belonging to 56 families and 105 genuses are conserved in these sacred groves, due to their socio-religious importance. According to their mode of use such as during different pages, festivals and religious ceremonies are discussed in this paper, in detail.
