Answer:
In Maharashtra the “sacred groves” in the Ghats which are locally called “Devrai” are key hot spots of biological diversity. The Devrai word came from two local words; that is, Dev means God and rai means forest. ... Such forest patches are considered a sacred forest by locals so they are called sacred groves.
