“Faith consists in believing when it is
beyond the power of reason to believe.” Voltaire
I found this tree while
I visited one of my friend. She was
grieving for her father who died suddenly. After spending some time with her,
as I moved out of her house to take the cab I found this tree attached to the
temple. I felt drawn to this tree so I clicked the picture of this tree.
It’s common to find
trees attached to temples, especially Neem and Peepal. Neem is also painted and
treated with reverence. Neem has medicinal value too as its leaves and branches
are used for various purpose. Peepal tree is associated with Lord Buddha for
having attained enlightenment under this tree.
