Something about the banyan trees compels many of us to pause and gaze for a bit longer. They may appear to be old, aged beings due to their magnificent gnarled roots and enormous size. Another possibility is that they enhance a scene with drama and splendour, possibly the tales and legends that surround them. Whatever the justification, their attraction makes it difficult to resist being drawn in.<\/p>\n

India’s national tree is the banyan, one of the 750 kinds of fig (Ficus Benghalensis). They are everywhere in the nation, inhabiting both urban and forest environments. With their soaring prop roots extending far and wide, these trees, which are among the largest in the world, certainly make their presence known. The world’s largest tree, The Great Banayan, can be found at Howrah, which is close to Kolkata.<\/p>\n
