I am sure you have seen Banyan trees.

What is so special about these trees?

To me, they are royal and regal!

I went to the Waste To Wonder Park in New Delhi in India. It was environmentally friendly. There were replicas of seven beautiful wonders of the world over there.

It is a theme park and the monuments are replicas of The Taj Mahal, Great Pyramid of Giza, Eiffel Tower of Paris, Leaning Tower of Pisa, Christ the Redeemer Statue of Rio De Janeiro, Rome’s Colosseum and the Statue of Liberty of the United States of America.

The replicas are made out of waste material. So it is an environmentally friendly park.

What is important in the park is that it is very green and each replica is enclosed with greenery around it. It is full of beautiful trees and plants.I was blessed to see the beautiful ancient 150 years old Banyan Tree over there.

The Spiritual Speciality of the Banyan Tree

In the waste to wonder park, there was the royal and regal Banyan tree. I was reminded that it was a spiritual tree because of its connection with Buddha
