Dear Friend,
NYAGRODHA tree has been mentioned by Valmiki in his Ramayan.
This tre is commonly known as Banyan tree.Scientifically it is Ficus benghalensis.It is interesting to note the origin of the name Banyan.D V Cowen in her book "FLOWERING TREES AND SHRUBS IN INDIA "states,
" The name Banyan,according to one authority,was given to a tree growing in the Persian Gulf,under which some banyas or Hindu traders built a pagoda."
Attaching an image of NYAGRODHA.You may like it.
With regards,
