Each Nakshatra is identified by its prominent star(s) and is associated with a [[Zodiac]]. Hindu astrologers believe that each constellation of the zodiac is associated with a tree. Those trees are of medicinal, social, aesthetic or economic value.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web | url=http://www.telegraphindia.com/1030313/asp/ranchi/story_1762390.asp | title=Zodiac theme for Rs 2-cr herbal hub - Nakhshatra Van in Ranchi and Hazaribagh | publisher=The Telegraph, Calcutta India | date=13 March 2003 | accessdate=19 September 2012 | author=MAJUMDAR, PINAKI}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==History==<br /> The foundation stone for the park was laid by Sri [[L. K. Advani]], Deputy Prime Minister of India in 2002. He planted a [[Flacourtia indica|Vikankat]] on that day. The responsibility for planning and developing the park was given to Social Forestry Division. Department officials visited a Zodiac Park in Bangalore to study the concept. Scientists from the [[Indian Institute of Astro-Physics]] were consulted in the planning process. It took around two years to complete the construction of the park.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web | url=http://www.telegraphindia.com/1030313/asp/ranchi/story_1762390.asp | title=Zodiac theme for Rs 2-cr herbal hub - Nakhshatra Van in Ranchi and Hazaribagh | publisher=The Telegraph, Calcutta India | date=13 March 2003 | accessdate=19 September 2012 | author=MAJUMDAR, PINAKI}}&lt;/ref&gt; The park was opened after a colourful programme on the occasion of [[Van Mahotsav]] in 2004. The park was inaugurated by Governor M. Rama Jois and many other dignitaries. The administration and management of the park was transferred to Jharkhand State Forest Development Corporation in 2004.&lt;ref&gt;A green act of faith - Times Of India<br /> articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com › Collections › Trees<br /> A green act of faith.
