Special Feature
The Banyan tree enjoys huge cultural importance in India. It is considered sacred among the Hindu population with temples and shrines being built under its shade quite often. The Banyan tree is commonly symbolic of eternal life as it has a very long lifespan. Married Hindu women often practice religious rituals around the banyan tree to pray for long life and well-being of their husbands.
The Banyan tree is often the focus of a rural establishment. The shade of the banyan tree provides a soothing backdrop for peaceful human interactions. The banyan tree prevents anything from growing under its shade, not even grass. For that reason, the banyan tree or its parts are considered inauspicious in cultural ceremonies like marriages.
