National Tree

Commanding a central presence in the timeless setting of India’s countryside, is the mighty Banyan, a tree endemic to the Indian subcontinent. For man it provides shelter and is a point where the village community gathers and transacts much of their affairs.
The tree is a veritable microhabitat for countless creatures. It releases maximum ozone in the atmosphere. Like the Banyan, India shelters all races, castes, creed and religion. To them all, it gives wisdom.
