The term FIG TREE SACRED is referring to the Pipal tree, which is a species of fig tree native to India and Nepal. It is considered sacred in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism, and is often planted near temples and shrines. The Pipal tree is also known as the Bodhi tree, as it is believed to be the same species of tree under which Siddhartha Gautama, the founder of Buddhism, attained enlightenment.
