Garden and Temple
On entering Rupali Ganguly's home, visitors are greeted by a spacious garden filled with trees and plants she has personally nurtured. Tucked away in this green space is her temple, located under a sacred Bodhi tree, which holds a single idol of Lord Shiva.
Rupali shared the story about the tree, revealing that her mother-in-law performed prayers around it while she was expecting. Following this tradition, Rupali also conducted poojas at the Peepal tree for 40 days during her pregnancy. She mentioned that this tree gives them a profound sense of peace. She often hugs the Peepal tree whenever she is feeling overwhelmed, stating that this simple practice helps her relax.
