about

The Isle of Jewels (Mani Dvipa) is a place
mentioned in Hindu Mythology.
I heard a story about the Hindu God Shiva
taking his consort the Goddess Parvati there
to visit a sacred grove of trees. As they are
walking in the grove she asks him
“Which is your favourite tree?”
He replies “The one that you are standing under”.
She asks him why it is his favourite tree and he
answers “Because it grants wishes”.
So she wishes for a son and later gives birth to
the God Ganesh.
