There are sacred grooves that are worshipped and are maintained by state or central government. These plants are considered sacred for the religious ceremonies. The tribal people have built temples. For example, in Kumaon area, temples are generally surrounded by Deodar forests and are protected by the people of that area. A number of water bodies are also held sacred, for example, Pushkar Lake in Rajasthan. Their aquatic flora and fauna are protected from exploitation.
