Ficus religiosa or sacred fig is a species of fig tree native to the Indian subcontinent and Indochina.
Trees are sacred in India, and often associated with a god or a goddess. The Peepal tree does not let grass grow under it. Thus the Peepal tree does not allow for any rebirth and renewal. While the Peepal offers shade from the sun, it offers no food; yet it is highly revered as sacred.
