Kalpvriksha Parijat Dham in Barabanki, Uttar Pradesh

The Kalpavriksha Parijat tree originates in one of the most significant events in Hindu mythology, the Samudra Manthan (Churning of the Ocean). Among the fourteen treasures that emerged from this great churning was the Kalpavriksha, the wish-fulfilling tree, which is said to grant the deepest desires of those who come to it with faith. After its emergence, Lord Indra, the king of the gods, took the Kalpavriksha and placed it in heaven, where it stood as a divine symbol of prosperity and abundance.

The Parijat tree’s journey to Earth is an equally fascinating tale. During the Dwapar Yuga, when the Pandavas were in exile, Maharani Kunti desired to worship Lord Shiva with golden flowers. She believed that such a devotion would ensure the Pandavas' victory in the impending Mahabharata war. However, these golden flowers bloomed only on the Kalpavriksha in heaven.

Arjuna, with his dear friend Shri Krishna, traveled to the heavens and brought the Kalpavriksha to Earth to fulfill his mother's wish. The tree has since been known as the Parijat, standing tall and resilient for over 6,675 years, blessing those seeking its divine presence.
