History
<p>The Peepal tree, also known as Vasudeva, is <strong>considered to be the most sacred in the Hindu religion</strong>. In Sanatan Dharma, Peepal is called the tree of Gods. It is said that the deities reside on every leaf of the tree. Especially on Saturday, Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Vishnu reside in the Peepal tree.</p> <p>The peepal tree, also known as "Ashvattha" in Sanskrit, is the most revered tree in India. As it is claimed that Buddha acquired enlightenment under a peepal tree, the peepal tree is also known as a Bodhi tree or a tree of enlightenment. Because of this, Buddhists hold the peepal tree in high regard. Additionally, the death of Lord Krishna, which occurred just under this tree, marked the start of the current Kali Yuga. According to Hinduism, the peepal tree's roots represent Brahma, its trunk represents Vishnu, and its leaves represent Shiva. Cutting down a peepal tree is frowned upon because a crimson thread or fabric is traditionally wound around them as a sign of reverence.</p> <p>The peepal tree is revered as a holy and lucky tree as well as a sacred plant. Peepal, a Sanskrit word, literally translates as "knowledge." The four Vedas and other holy scriptures printed on palm leaves have both been particularly referred to by this phrase. Hindu writings, or Vedas, which serve as the foundation for Indian traditions, are rife with symbolic and analogous references to the peepal tree.</p>
