We started with the tree.
Vijoras exists because of a plantation and a problem.
The plantation is in Visakhapatnam — around twelve thousand Vijaysar trees, the oldest of them more than sixty years in the ground. The problem is that almost everything sold under the name “Vijaysar” is either a fake or a wild tree that shouldn’t have been cut.
It seemed obvious what to do. If you have the real tree, grown on purpose, you can make the real thing — and you can make it without taking anything from a forest that’s already thinning.
So that’s the whole idea. Genuine heartwood, grown not taken, turned into a glass for a ritual that’s older than any of us. We don’t polish it, we don’t dress it up, and we don’t tell you it’s anything other than what it is: a beautiful piece of a tree Ayurveda has revered for a very long time.
The name. Vijoras comes from Vijaysar, the tree, and Ojas — the Ayurvedic word for vital essence.
