It’s very true… really like the say you took the picture. You are a really good photographer…. :)Keep it up


@ Mehak - Banyan we called it “Var” tree is also called “Kalpavriksha” means 'wish fulfilling tree'. It represents eternal life because of its seemingly ever-expanding branches and people have great respect for it.

And you know the other story or not…. Var, taken as a male plant and Peepal, which is also called Bodhi tree (Buddha also got Buddhatva meditating under the Peepal Tree.)And this is the best tree in the earth that gives us oxygen that’s why maybe Buddha chose this tree :), taken as a female plant so many people do wedding these two plants when these both trees’ branch touché when if they are planted together.

Pipal tree, taken as a form of Vishnu (it also has a story) that’s why we worship it.

This tree must have seen so much in its life. Clicks, do you remember there used to be a serial called "Neem ka pedh" where a Neem tree was a sutradhar in telling stories about a village. This reminds me of that. Awesome picture, awesome comparision!!
