266. B is for Banyan tree

Banyon tree, F. macrophylla in Reggio Calabria, Italy

In India, the Banyan tree is a sacred tree.  It is the tree of knowledge and tree of life. 

It is the tree that fulfills all your wishes.  So let us pray for peace and harmony in this world.  That the hungry be fed.

The Banyan tree also has medicinal properties.
