Sacred Bo Tree Ficus Religiosa in India

Sacred Bo Tree Ficus Religiosa Supported by an 18th century Terracotta Temple, Dwarhatta, West Bengal in India, 1998. The Bodhi Tree was a large and very old sacred fig tree (Ficus religiosa) located in Bodh Gaya, under which Siddhartha Gautama, the spiritual teacher who later became known as the Buddha, is said to have attained enlightenment.
In religious iconography, the Bodhi Tree is recognizable by its heart-shaped leaves, which are usually prominently displayed.
