Akshaya Vat
Vaishali, Bihar, India
The Akshaya Vat, or the "immortal banyan tree," is a sacred banyan tree located near the Vishnupad Temple. The tree is a major pilgrimage site for Hindus and is believed to have been blessed by Goddess Sita, the wife of Lord Rama, to never shed its leaves. The tree's association with the epic Ramaya na and its spiritual significance make it a revered site. The tree is a living testament to the legends and traditions of the region and is a crucial part of the Pind-Daan ritual.
