(The Wishing Tree)
The banyan tree, considered sacred and representative of eternal life, is also a human symbol. In contemporary India, the banyan tree is the national tree.
Banyan trees are sacred in South Asia and throughout the world. The tree represents eternal life because it supports its expanding canopy by growing special roots from its branches.
These roots hang down and act as props over an ever widening circle, reflecting the Sanskrit name bahupada, meaning 'one with many feet'.
In Hindu culture, the banyan tree is considered sacred and is called "Vat Vriksha." God Shiva as Dakshinamurthy is nearly always depicted sitting in silence under the banyan with rishis at his feet. It is thought to symbolize eternal life due to its seemingly unending expansion.
Also in Hindu culture, the banyan tree is called kalpavriksha meaning 'wish fulfilling divine tree'. In modern parlance in the Hindi language, it is known as Bargad, Vatavriksh, and Barh. is also associated with shrines of such deities as Kubera, the God of Wealth.
Buddha is believed to have achieved enlightenment in Bodhgaya in India while meditating under a banyan tree.
Typical metaphors allude to the banyan's epiphytic nature, likening the banyan's supplanting of a host tree as comparable to the way sensual desire (Kama) overcomes humans. and more.
