A wish filling tree known for longevity and utility

Seated below this tree ,Shiva in form of  Dakshina  Murthy

Spread wisdom to the sage devotees

Savitri  got back to life , her dead  Satyavan  pleading Yama

Under this  miraculous Banyan tree

Ladies tie the red.  Cloth to this tree

Seeking blessing for their family

Vishnu as Krishna floated on banyan leaf

Across  the flood of  primordial waters safe

Banyan tree a sign of wealth and prosperity

Nourishing mankind with  its milk in days

When no  grains were discovered 

Brahma in roots, Vishnu in bark,Shiva in branches

Representing  Banyan tree as  microcosm of Hindu universe

Dwelling of Kubera god of wealth, sign of prosperity

Lakshmi visits Banyan trees on Fridays and  Sundays

Banyan tree provides shelter for vast area

Village People can sit and discuss beneath the tree

A cradle of cultural and spiritual discourse

In essence Dharma’s firm roots and infinite wisdom
