"The Banyan Tree is a species of the genus ficus. It is regarded as a sacred tree by the Hindus. Its branches produce long shoots, or aerial roots, which descend to the ground and penetrate the soil; so that, in course of time, a single tree becomes a vast umbrageous tent, supported by numerous columns."—(Charles Leonard-Stuart, 1911)
