 Banyan Tree Pictures 

I am #1 on Google for "banyan tree pictures" !!! Cooooool. If you have banyan tree photos, please try to email me a few pictures (click the "about" tab for my email)... I have a fond appreciation for the banyan tree and would like to add more photos into my collection. If you have any more Thomas Edison banyan tree photos, or ones from Hawaii, the South Pacific, Southeast Asia, India, or elsewhere... pleeeeease send me a few pictures I'll make sure you get credit for them.

In these pages there are Banyan trees from different parts of the world... especially India. Collection starts in Goa, a mysterious state of paradise and beach haven on the Indian Ocean, which is always warm to swim. Then zip into Calcutta, the City of Joy with the single largest unity of banyan tree in the world, at over 420m wide! found in Kolkatta (formerly, Calcutta). I then found new, different ones in Hanoi. I personally believe that the Banyan Tree is a symbol of togetherness and unity for all cultures, civilizations, religions and belives around the world. Namaste.

Strange edge of a banyan tree along the path to a great banyan tree in the jungle, near Arambol, Goa. If I didn't know better, I'd say this was pruned carefully over many years.

Another unusual tree in the jungle. It looks like it's bearing fruit. I knew the banyan tree was going to be the third, and most interesting of my finds. Near Arambol, Goa in South India.

I walked straight into it. Looks like a lot of human interaction here. A chopped and shaped doorway, perhaps. Bottom cut off, path swathed.

The vines are also branches. Check out the crazy structures at the top! If you look into these branches, vines and roots long enough, to can see almost anything up there. It's one of God's incredible creations to give shape to such things.

The branches are all connected at the top. The forest has become one, at this point. It's all connected. The bases, individual trunks, all look like regular trees with vines hanging all around them.

Some people find the tree a peaceful place for a mundir temple. Perhaps the faces of God's creations can be found in these roots.
