  • 7 years ago
The peepal is one of the best known trees of India. The tree grows to large proportions. It has a hard, cracked and greyish white bark and numerous offshoots. Its leaves are somewhat leathery, broadly oval in shape, which suddenly narrow at the apex and into a long tail.

The peepal is venerated by the Hindus and the Buddhists. The rishis of yore meditated under it. It was beneath a peepal that Gautam Buddha attained enlightenment, and that particular tree came to be called Bodhi, the 'tree of wisdom'. In the popular Indian folkore, the peepal is considered as the female to the male banyan.

The tree is found wild in the forests on the lower slopes of the Himalayas, Orissa and in Central India. It grows wild in most parts of India, especially on the banks of rivers and lakes.
