Banyan trees are sacred in South Asia and are seen as providing shelter like God. They are often called the wish-fulfilling tree in Hindu mythology. Neem trees are deeply spiritual in meaning and according to mythology, gods dropped heavenly nectar on its leaves, giving it medicinal qualities. Peepal trees are large in size and Hindus still meditate and pray beneath them while scriptures use it as a metaphor. Tulsi plants are also important religious symbols for Hindus who worship them daily for their spiritual and medicinal significance.
