Peepal
















This peepal makes a traffic island in an extremely busy junction in Shaniwar Peth. It looks very beautiful in the evening when the sun strikes it at an angle. At night, it loses most of its personality, but even in the dim light, the beauty of its trunk is striking.

The peepal isn't the prettiest of trees, but what it lacks in daintiness, it makes up in strength of character.
