The various components and characteristics of trees have served a multitude of purposes for humans, for as long as we have been in existence. While the tree and its association with the human has been the studied and reflected upon in various disciplines of study, its spatial dimension is the object of this book, seen through the aesthetic, economic, political, socio-cultural and symbolic lenses, primarily in the Indian context.
 
While looking at various Indian socio-cultural zones which are the result of climatic zones, this book attempts to decode the space under the trees by understanding the nuances of different perspectives, hence being situated within a geographical and disciplinary intersect.
