The Banyan Tree is very important in the Hindu culture. Although all the trees, plants, animals... nature in general is very very important in Hinduism. So much that it is incorporated in some way or the other in the rituals, so that they are taken good care of. The cow is worshipped, so are the mountains and rivers and the sea.
In the same way this simple Banyan tree also has its own importance. On a day called "Vat Pournima" the married ladies tie a thread round the tree and pray for the husbands and married life.
