The Peepal Tree (Ficus religiosa), also known as the Buddha tree, boasts its origins in the venerable lands of the Indian sub-continent, commanding profound reverence across India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Nepal. An esteemed relic of antiquity, it stands as an emblematic arboreal figure, its presence etched onto the annals of human depiction – an ancient Mohenjodaro seal immortalizes the tree’s worship.

Beneath the sheltering canopy of the Peepal Tree, Gautama Buddha himself is said to have attained the pinnacle of enlightenment. Within this sacred shade, discourse and deliberation flourished, perhaps accompanied by moments of lighthearted repartee.
