The Sacred Fig, Ficus religiosa- known as Peepal in Hindi, is a species native to India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, southwest China and Indochina. It belongs to the Moraceae, the fig or mulberry family.
In the Hindu religion, Peepal tree has a lot of reverence and significance for people. People worship the tree and perform a puja. The tree is known for its heart shaped leaves that have long narrowing tips. The origin of peepal tree can be traced back to the times of Indus Valley Civilisation (3000 BC - 1700 BC) in the Mohenjodaro city. Excavations are suggestive of the fact that even in those times; the peepal tree was worshipped by Hindus.
During the Vedic period, the wood obtained by cutting Peepal tree was used to produce fire. In the ancient Puranas, an incident has been described in which the demons defeated the deities and Lord Vishnu hid in the Peepal tree. Since, the Lord resided in the tree for some time; the tree holds great importance for people. Thus, people began worshipping the tree, considering it to be a means of offering prayers to Lord Vishnu. There are a few legends, which suggest that Lord Vishnu was born under the peepal tree. There are a couple of stories, which say that the tree is home to the trinity of Gods, the root being Brahma, the trunk is Vishnu and leaves represent Lord Shiva.

Según la leyenda los ficus los trajo una monja, que contrajo una enfermedad en el viaje de vuelta a Cádiz, muriendo como consecuencia de la misma, en el desaparecido Hospital de Mora. Al fallecer decidieron plantar dos enfrente del Hospital y el resto en la Alameda Apodaca.

Although known officially as Jardín de Aclimatación de la Orotava, or "JAO", this installation is actually in Puerto de La Cruz (there is a smaller one actually in La Orotava).
Ficus macrophylla, commonly known as the Moreton Bay fig or Australian banyan, is a large evergreen banyan tree of the family Moraceae that is a native of most of the eastern coast of Australia, from the Atherton Tableland (17° S) in the north to the Illawarra (34° S) in New South Wales, and Lord Howe Island. Its common name is derived from Moreton Bay in Queensland, Australia. It is best known for its imposing buttress roots. As Ficus macrophylla is a strangler fig, seed germination usually takes place in the canopy of a host tree and the seedling lives as an epiphyte until its roots establish contact with the ground. It then enlarges and strangles its host, eventually becoming a freestanding tree by itself. Individuals may reach 60 m (200 ft) in height. The large leathery, dark green leaves are 15–30 cm (6–12 in) long.

The beautiful Ficus of the Mazones in Almoradi Spain. This lovely tree is more than a century old and displays beautiful twists and shapes when you get right underneath the dome shaped canopy. I wanted to show the size of this beauty (18 metres tall and 30 metres across) so shot it with a fisheye lens and stood in the frame to try to give a sense of scale
Playing with a 50mm f/1.8 STM !! The lens is small and light - nice to carry if you like working with "old fashioned" methods as in the 35mm days. Nice image IQ - especially for the price.

Ficus Religiosa, the Bodhi Tee or The Sacred Fig belongs to the fig or mulberry family. Buddhist legend tells that Gautama Buddha attained enlightenment (bodhi - from Sanskrit “wisdom", "enlightened”) while meditating underneath the Ficus religiosa.
Not all Ficus religiosa can be called a Bodhi tree. A real Bodhi tree origins from the exact Ficus Religiosa, under which Gautama Buddha gained enlightenment. The original tree currently grows in present day Bodh Gaya, northern India. The known planting date of Sacred Fig is 288 BCE, with is the oldest verified age for any flowering plant.
I captured this tree at Gangaramaya temple at Colombo, Sri Lanka. I don’t know if this tree is real Bodhi, at least the local guide claimed it was.
Thanks for your visit and have a great day!
