why is our national tree banyan tree only ?what so special?

Hi Susheel,

There are many special characteristics of Banyan tree which contribute in making it our national tree. Some of them are:

1.  Banyan is a very huge structure, long and deep roots and branches symbolize the country's unity.
2.  It represents eternal life because of it’s seemingly ever-expanding branches.
3.  In India, Banyan tree is also called Kalpavriksha meaning 'wish fulfilling tree'. Because of its longevity and high medicinal value it is the most sacred tree in India.
4.  It is the house of many animals and birds which symbolizes the accommodation of many people of different religion in our country.
 
Hope now the answer is clear to you.
 
Cheers!!
