Bodhi Tree on the way to the hill top

Bodhi Tree on the way to the hill top
The Bodhi Tree, also known as Bo, was a large and very old Sacred Fig tree (Ficus religiosa) located in Bodh Gaya (about 100 km from Patna in the Indian state of Bihar), under which Siddhartha Gautama, the spiritual teacher and founder of Buddhism later known as Gautama Buddha, achieved enlightenment, or Bodhi. In religious iconography, the Bodhi tree is recognizable by its heart-shaped leaves, which are usually prominently displayed. It takes 100 to 3,000 years for a bodhi tree to fully grow.
On the way to the hill top of Phu Si threr is placed a Bodhi Tree which the pilgrims and visitors of Phu Si respect the holy tree with donations.
